Germany!!


One of the government type buildings in Wiesbaden but lots of stuff happens in the huge yard that is behind me. Horse shows, concerts, etc.
This verse was on the side of a church in their town. Can't read anything but what says Ps. 9, verse 13This is where the Brueckmans live. (people from FL I stayed with) Nice little town and they live up above it so that is nice. Almost feels like the mountains.
We were going to go bowling but they were too packed so they had this crazy bear outside and well it became an opportune photo shot!!
They actually had a Ping-pong table in one of the castles!!
Another pic of the inner town. We ate there and it was pretty good. Only thing was the railroad tracks were right beside the hotel/restuarant so we were interrupted a few times by the trains. All electric for the most part but a few weren't.
A town called Bacharach. Notice the tiny cobblestone streets and also the flowers.
A commanding view of the Rhine river.
They just built right on top of the rocks!!
This original wall shows all the flood marks over the years. The lower right corner is one flood in May 1983. That is cool it was enough to be remembered.

Me, Duh, with only taller tower of the castle behind me. See I really did go!!
See what we walked up to get there??
The Rheinstein Castle from below. Very imposing...
This little is aptly named the "Mouse" Castle
They have flowers everywhere!


Schloss (Castle) Rheinstein one of the coolest Castles we looked at. Bought in 75' by a couple and they live there and are restoring it all like it was.
They had their own little chapel added on to the Castle
The courtyard of the Castle, they had a anniversary thingy there not a wedding but it was cool to see everyone, though the climb up was a killer!!
They must have had some tiny deer cus the antlers aren't that big!!
Some of the Armor that was worn then



Part of the Ancient Roman Aquaduct
Where the oldest copies of the Bible are kept
One of the many old Churches around
Inside one of those said Churches
This is one of the original copies of the Bible. Really, really Old!!
