As you can tell from this post, I have come home from Iraq. It was a great (albeit challenging) experience. If you’re interested, the previous three posts have a few details.
However, one of the first orders of business was to go out into the incredibly green forest (especially to color deprived eyes). The first day was on this hike from Trier across the border into Luxembourg, and the second was an almost 60 mile (100km) bike ride. But, since I only have a few pictures of the hike, this will be a short one. We ventured out into the wilds of Germany with our good friend Ken (who you may recall from our Budapest trip earlier this year).
Now on to the hike: since we hiked along side of (or at least in sight of) the Mosel River for a long way, there were plenty of late season grapes (very sweet).
We also happened across this interesting fellow (I mean the slug, not Ken…).
Conveniently, Ken had brought some carrots which made a perfect snack for our new friends.
In fact, they were even posing for Ken’s pictures. She really liked the wind.
Ken got very creative with his images and posted a montage on One True Media. If you’d like to see the slideshow, make sure your speakers are turned on and follow this link:

So, that concludes our hike across the border. The next post will detail our first “real” trip together again. We just visited the stunningly romantic city of Venice. So, until then.
