This morning we are cruising up the Romantic section of the Rhine where most of the castles are. About every couple of miles there a beautiful little town nestled in the slate hillside with a castle perched on a hill. It truly is an amazing site, coming from the plains of the Midwest. This is also wine country (mostly Rieslings and other white wines--but German wines are not the sweet ones of the past--they have really gotten respect in the wine world).
I haven't mentioned the weather much because it isn't worth talking about. We have been fortunate not to get rained on, but it is very chilly (about 38 this morning). The boat has a nice glassed in area on the sun deck that helps, and they provide blankets for extra warmth. The lounge has become one of our favorite warm spots to watch the scenery.
We will be to Rudesheim by early afternoon, where we will meet Pastor Bob.
