6 June ’04, Sunday. Louise and I headed out just after breakfast for town and you couldn’t believe your eyes….we don’t know just where they were coming from but they were all arriving. Big, little, and in-between, dads, moms, kids, grandparents, dogs, all on a whole bunch of bikes, scooters, trikes, and roller-blades as well. One of the first things that was really obvious was the lack of car noise…motors, tire and just the whishing… Pretty nice. After we got into town and did some of the usual things we decided to go to the castle on top of the hill above the towns. Now I must tell you, this was no little task. It was straight up and it was hot !!! Well, we were proud of our hike and decided we would treat ourselves with lunch up there…not to be…CLOSED? Who makes these decisions? We were hot, hungry, thirsty, and ….oh well, we’ll make it down and have a great meal….Beer and Brocks !!!! Just what we were looking for. On our arrival in the campgrounds we met our neighbors who were from Bavaria. Sascha, Karlygash, and Aidana have been using this campground for a number of seasons. They helped Louise and I with a ton of information as to different locations and campgrounds throughout Europe that they thought we might find a lot of fun to visit. They also invited us out on their boat for a day of cruising on the Mosel and to their new home that they are just now completing. What can we say again….Great people and families. Tomorrow….Traben-Trarbach.
