Well, today was a pretty cool day We got up and went to the Rhine River. St Goar. Its about an hour and some away. We went to the ruins of Rheinfels Castle. It was built in the early 1200's. It was sooo cool. The kids had a blast exploring and going into the tunnels. The castle does not have a roof, due to it being destroyed by the French. The middle part is still in tact, so there is a museum, hotel and restaurant. We went exploring in the mine tunnels, the slaughter house, little tunnels here and there, and most important, the dungeon. The kids were so excited to see that. We will be going back in the next couple of weeks to go see the other castles on the Rhine River area. We saw a least 4 other castles just from the road. We cant wait to go back. The view from the castle was spectacular. Breathtaking! We had a great day today.
Now it is 1105 pm and I am exhausted. Today really wore me,actually all of us, out! Tomorrow is going to be a lazy lounge around day I hope everyone is having a great weekend!
