We've had to resort to an internet cafe as we've had no luck with wi-fi in the Mosel Valley. So sorry but no pictures with this post. We promise pictures soon! (Updated with Pictures!)
We've loved our stay so far in Germany exploring the different wines and towns of the Mosel and Rhine River areas. We've really found an appreciation for Riesling wines and even learned a little bit of German trying to interpret the labels. We still rely on Mom for speaking for the most part. Ja! Lora has discovered her German heritage with her enjoyment of the food and Kevin feels that German food is severely underrated.
Castles, Castles and more Castles! Burg Eltz was the first one along the way and was the most spectacular. It's tucked away in a little valley that required a nice mile long hike down to the castle...down wasn't the problem. We've seen countless more along the Mosel and Rhine rivers but only toured one other Castle, Marksburg.

Hiking back up from Burg Eltz:
We've stopped for the night in a "quaint" little German village called Bacharach and found a really nice hotel for the night. Tomorrow it's off to Bensheim to visit a family friend for a couple of nights. It will be wonderful to have an inside tour of a town...not that Rick Steve's, aka Marty aka Mother Tourista, hasn't been doing a terrific job but she's due for a break.
A week has flown by and Lora montioned she has already begun to forget Paris. in Lora speak that means we'll be heading back in the near future. By the way, please send cash, the wine fund is running low :-)
Auf Wiedersehen!

Can't send the cash, but feel free to ship directly to our cellar ;) Sounds like a wonderful time - I can't wait to see photos of the castles!
