In 2019, our family traveled to France and Germany to celebrate the 50th birthday of both my sister and her husband. As is common, a local bike ride to the river was supposed to be part of the celebration, except the local bridge was closed for repairs. "No problem," said Uncle Dietrich - let's just go around it. Undeterred by sounding alarms and the prospect of getting arrested, we safely made it to the other side.

Amazing.
