Kleve in the Lower Rhine region is the home of my mom and her husband and also of the late Joseph Beuys, the first German artist to have a retrospective at the Guggenheim museum. A bike ride through the meadows will take you to the Moyland castle which hosts most of Beuys’ work. After you dive into the dark hermetic madness that is his art you come up gasping for air and looking forward to the fresh breeze flowing through windmill country.
Laura has a picture of Elise falling off of her bike in this very spot. I had trouble biking on the grass, I miss you!!!!!!!
