Guten Tag!

Well, my dad has learned some German, and wants to share it with you…

Impressive, eh?

Today was absolutely amazing – we started the day with a delicious breakfast (Frühstück auf Deutsch) here at Hotel Am Markt in Bacharach…

Then we, literally, ran to the train station to catch the 9:30am ride to Moselkern.

Once in Moselkern, we walked 5 miles (each way) through the town, then the outskirts, and finally into a magical forest, and ended up at Burg Eltz!

We ate at Burg Eltz, and toured the Castle, it was really awesome, we totally recommend it (and the walk, although long, you see and smell truly amazing things!)

After Burg Eltz, we walked back to the train station and just after I took a shot of the Feuerwehr (Fire Station) in Moselkern, I promptly dropped my camera on the concrete busting it open and killing its ability to focus (the one time I don’t have my wrist cord on! UGH!)

LUCKILY, Dad & Kim volunteered their camera for the duration of the trip, and I diligently wear the wrist cord now…

Once I did damage control as we waited at the train station, we took off for Koblenz to have dinner (a great Italian restaurant) and see the Deutsches Eck.

Today’s weather, a little chilly at 62′ F! No problem we dressed in layers.

Guten Abend!
