Honeymoon in Europe 1979

 I came across some old photos from our honeymoon when Mike & I bicycled through Europe for 3 months starting in Holland, then on to England, Ireland, France & Germany.  Thought you might get a kick out of some of these photos:


                              Here we are in Holland- all loaded up & ready to go.  
                                                    Check out Mike's shorts!!


There are those shorts again!

                      Mike wasn't the only one!  It was September/October & we were 
                                   dressed for California - we almost froze!




                      This is all the gear we carried - nothing lightweight there.  
                       Of course, we were 30+ years younger.  I'm so glad we're 
                       not camping this time!


                              Here I am at the top of Gallows Hill in England. 
                   I'm hoping there won't be too many moments like this on the ride!  


                                                        Or like this!


                               All smiles at the top of the pass in the Black Forest....


                                       and on the bike paths in Holland.....
           
             Let's hope we're still smiling when we finish the Asmi Californal Coastal Ride!
