Yesterday was pretty fun--Rhine tour, castle, and wine tasting. Sounds pretty romantic. The Rhine was beautiful even in the rain. It was fun sitting up on the top deck of the boat watching the wind blow the chairs into people. Peter got to be the photo subject of a tipisch Japanese tourist while he was curled up on his little covered bench. The scenery was gorgeous, all green and covered in churches and half-timbered houses. We passed at least one castle every 5 minutes...small ones, but none the less, castles. The castle we got to tour, Schloss Stolzenfels, was gorgeous. i find royalty a bit ridiculous...the fact that Stolzenfels was just their summer getaway for having parties is crazy to me. I wish we could have taken pictures in the rooms. Skating around in the shoe cover slippers was really fun. :)
The wine tasting was not exactly what i had imagined-it was better. i was not anticipating food or being down in a 150 year old cellar. The wine was good as was the food, but i was ready to be done after 6 wines, so it was perfect.
Class time...gotta cut this one short too.
