bicycling on the freeway

Scott and I went on a long bike ride today, on one of the very few warm sunny days we've had this year. We biked on both sides of the river and all around the place, and of course we brought our dogs along in their super-dee-dooper special dog trailer, which does get alot of attention. And the dogs enjoy riding around in the trailer a lot.

After meandering about the place for a couple of hours, we opted to cross back over to our side of the Rhein over a bridge that's just south of our neighborhood. It's also a bridge for the freeway. Yes, there is a bike lane on the freeway. So we took the freeway on our bike ride. Such fun. It's the little things, people.

Yesterday, a friend and I took a day trip to Heidelberg, Germany, where we had lunch at Pizza Hut for that genuine American experience. Then we went to a best-kept-secret outlet shopping place where I found two great, cheap pairs of shoes, two sweaters for winter, and a shirt for now. It was really good fun.
