The Neckar

"Germany, in the summer, is the perfection of the beautiful, but nobody has understood, and realized, and enjoyed the utmost possibilities of this soft and peaceful beauty unless he has voyaged down the Neckar on a raft." ~~Mark Twain

The Neckar is our river. It flows a few feet from our house; we see it and cross it everyday. So we thought it appropriate to do a post in honor of it (especially since we already have pictures of it and Mr. Cord has not yet returned).

One of the great things about the Neckar is the boats that pass through. You see everything from the industrial barge to the tiniest kayak.
