It's oh so quiet



Many of the small villages we've cycled through have been eerily quiet, the streets lines with small houses with the doors and shutters firmly closed, and not a person in sight. Maybe everyone's at the beach where we certainly saw lots of people and heavy traffic? Or at one of the huge campsites where many campers look like they spend the whole summer in the same spot? Or maybe everyone's just moved west...

This house we saw this morning in Bad Freienwalde reminded us of an even grander abandoned building we saw in Riga last year. Note the tree growing on the balcony and imagine the renovation costs…
