By the walnut tree
Bumping her heels against the bark, a little girl swings her arms as she sings to an old tree we sit under. The song is about love and loss; of goodbyes never said before and now finally spoken in soft syllables across time This moment is ours only for this day, for it cannot be repeated or rewound as easily as I can with my tape recorder at home on the countertop next to the window when there is too much traffic noise outside to hear anything but static from the broken speaker.1

Sights in the area1
Würzburg
The residence city on the Main, about 14 kilometres away. The Marienberg Fortress looms over the old town, and the Old Main Bridge spans the river below. Worth the detour if you have a day to spare.
Franconian wine country
Vineyards line the Main around Buchbrunn, home of Silvaner in its rounded Bocksbeutel bottle. In the villages, Häcker taverns pour their own vintage — the simple stop for the evening.
Main Cycle Path
The long-distance route follows the Main through Franconia, flat and mostly close to the water. From Kitzingen you can spin an easy stage between the wine villages, good for a free morning.
