The Rhine River flows from the Swiss Alps into Germany and is one of the country's biggest rivers. For many centuries it has been the means of moving cargo up and down the river and an important water highway. Our adventure this weekend was a river cruise up taking us through some beautiful countryside.
The Rhine River Valley is home to numerous vineyards and a thriving German wine business. All along our trip we saw vineyards with their amazing Fall colors.
The Medieval Germans loved to build castles. The sheer number of castles we encountered
in this stretch of the Rhine River was amazing.
We thought it was an interesting contrast looking at the camp trailers with the castles looming in the background.
Barges like this one moving containers or other materials are a common
sight.
sight.
Even the train tunnels got into the castle theme.
This barge is home on the river for the operators with living quarters, recreational toys and their vehicle.
Our cameras really got a workout on this trip. We had so many pictures to choose from.
Being on a mission with Joanne is really WUNDERBAR!
The wind picked up on the return leg of the boat ride and it filled up my jacket pretty well or was it my lunch of Venison Gulash I had at the half-way point?
Elder Clark Davis and Sister Shelley Davis from Brigham City, Utah, were our traveling companions.
