Durnstein & Melk

This is a picture of our Amadolce river boat. Not too big and not too small. It's so hard to believe we were on this just a few weeks ago! 
The next place we visited was Durnstein. A beautiful little city.

I loved the cobblestone streets and little passageways.

That afternoon we did a 21 mile bike ride to Melk. The boat met us there. I haven't ridden a bike since I was 10 years old, but I really enjoyed it.
After the bike ride we went to the Melk Abbey. It's a school and still has monks working there as well. Amazing!
Seeing so much history in Europe brought to life for me how young America as a country really is!

Anyone who believes in Him is not condemned...

  1. There is something magical about seeing those little cities and villages in Europe sprinkled throughout the countryside. I chuckled when I saw the umbrellas. When we were in France for 10 weeks it rained all the time, or so it seemed.

  3. What did your mom do while y'all went running or biking? Since she isn't in those pictures I assume she doesn't run with y'all.

  4. Dianna, my mom helped with a lot of the behind the scenes stuff. ; ) Like keeping up with the times of the racers, taking pictures, and carrying our bags everywhere!
