Learn German in 15 minutes

We are sitting in the lounge of the ship listening to our cruise manager giving us a lesson on German. Not sinking in much! Actually, understanding every word isn't as important as a smile. We are finding out what excursions will be happening this week. These are the optional tours. We are choosing to go to Marksburg Castle (the only medievel castle on the Rhine not destroyed)tomorrow and Heidelberg on Thursday. On Wednesday, we are going to be taken around the Rudesheim area by Dad's former pastor who is now a pastor in Germany. Looking forward to seeing what the locals do!

This was a view from the ship of last evening's sunset.

This is our room with a window. You can see how close the water line is.
