We began the day with a hike up to the ruins of a castle. The castle was destroyed during the Thirty Years' War. The town of Kallmunz lies below. |
Ning, Maddie, Melissa, and Kaylee climbed one of the castle walls! |
We enjoyed the lovely view as we ate our sack lunches. :) |
God planned for us to meet two U.S. military chaplain families at the castle. What a blessing to meet fellow Americans and believers in an unexpected place! |
After lunch, we hiked back down the hill and hopped in our canoes. Our German guide gave us some pre-trip instructions. |
The platoon (all of three canoes) is prepared for launch. We'll need those muscles to paddle! |
Claire (rear) captains her canoe with Ning, Kaylee, and Jess as the trusty crew This is right after launch. |
We experienced breathtaking scenery as we floated and/or paddled gently down the Naab River (pronounced "knob.") |
Captain Josh, Marianne, Karen, and Amy complete a portage around a small waterfall along the route. |
The merry AMBEXers raise their paddles in salute to Coach and Kelley, our faithful canoe trip photographers. |
Captain Marcus, Maddie, and Melissa won the race on the last leg of the trip. Congratulations! |
