August 27 - It is all about the wine.

Thursday - Sand Am Main to Sommerach
We woke to clear blue skies and 60F....looks like another beautiful day on the Main.
This guy is all about baskets in the central square of Sand Am Main.



Zeil Am Main

Lots of corn here too.
Ritterskapelle in Hassfurt



Leaving Hassfurt


Stopped for the picture of the river marker to let those 2 guys get farther ahead of us and then about 2 miles later they stopped for a break too. Oh well!
Schweinfurt lunch spot. Should have gone just a little bit farther and we would have had a shady bench.
Another 1945 bike being used as advertising along the bike path.
Just north of Garstadt (even though we are moving in Germany, the Main Route does a lot of zigzagging so we are often headed southwest or northwest.)

The ferry crossing at Wipfeld.
There were four times as many bikes as cars in the 3 crossings that we observed.
This guy was on his next to last day and was telling Doug about his journey and then had a joke at the end.
This is a military museum in Stammheim. We didn't go in as there were only 2 airplanes and this was the only one that was interesting. 
Nordheim for an ice cream break.
We traveled past lots of fruit trees and vineyards the rest of the afternoon.


It must be a very popular day trip area for cyclists because we saw hundreds of them between Volkach and Sommerach this afternoon. Besides lots of grapes there are also lots of wineries in the villages along this stretch.
Camping Katzenkopf
It looks like we are in the country looking this way.....
.......but not when you look this way!
