Here are some more of the pictures around the Mosel River. It was quite a day full! |
| Burg Eltz - a castle that seemed like it was in the middle of a forest. We had a very steep hike to and from the castle to the parking lot. |
 |
| Inside the main castle courtyard. The castle is still owned privately by the descendants of the knight families who built the place in the 1000's. |
 |
| Randy is ready for action... seriously. |
 |
| Gabe is contemplating a climb. |
 |
| A cool gargoyle water spout. |
 |
| This was a fun little lunch stop. It was fast food, German style ("Imbiss" basically means a take-out food place). You'll never guess what was on the menu... brats and french fries! |
 |
| Micah and Dan in one of the many vineyards lining the hills on both sides of the valley. |
 |
| A park pit-stop in one of the villages we stopped in. This beat out the castle, hands down. |
 |
| Gabe in mid-spin. |
 |
 |
| The city square at Bernkastel-Kues |
 |
| A neat mailbox there (Micah took this picture). |
 |
| The vineyards again. |
 |
| Dad and Kris walking the bridge at Bernkastel-Kues (more pictures on the bridge below...) |

Great photos yet again. It must be wonderful to be surrounded by so much history. Canada is so young in comparison! I've never been to Germany, but in Ireland I liked driving around and spotting a lot of ruins, usually in the middle of a sheep field :)
Is Micah the same height as you now Jody?! These kids are NOT allowed to grow up!!!
