Statue of St. Goar, founder of the town in medeival times.

Rheinfels Castle where Marilyn, Sid and Geraldine were clambering around for the day.


I wandered through some of the back streets and then remembered I didn't have any photos of our favorite restaurants. They're shown on the next page: the Alla Fontana (good Italian food), the Hotel Am Markt (wild boar), and the Loreley (good German food).

Finally it was back to the Werr Apartment and a nice nap before the others returned.









All of us met for dinner that night at an outdoor restaurant on Heerstrasse and enjoyed it immensely. About ten o'clock Marilyn and I walked along the Rhine where we encountered a magnificent sunset. What a fitting finale to a very enjoyable trip!

Our daughter, Kim, and husband, Pete, left on an early train to Wurzburg, and then on to Rothenberg. Our friends from England, Sid and Geraldine, left in mid-afternoon, going to the Frankfurt airport for their short flight to Bristol. We had a quiet dinner, packed, and went to bed early.


On the 16th we took the 8:20 a.m. train to Frankfurt Airport. Marilyn wandered through airport shops and returned to me laden with chocolate gifts for home. We changed planes in Munich for our non-stop journey to San Francisco. After the usual scramble we settled back in our seats and relaxed for a pleasant flight home. It had been a wonderful German vacation, and our adventures in Berlin and on the Rhine exceeded our expectations. Happy Travels!
