the other day; everybody was fine Mt

per which you said you would send.
Well, viii continue my trip thru
Germany. We left Ruiver yesterday
morning and after travelling nearly
aii day we reached our next stop, at
Burg. 1t is not much of n city, but
the people are alright.
After leaving Pulver, we followed
the river for quite u distance or un.
I'll we reached Bcrncastle, the trip
along the river being in valley with
hills on both sides. II was very fogry
So we coud not get good view of
them, in fact we could not see the
sops Of some of them, but it is Won
derful the way these people on these
nils have teiraced and planted grape
vines which are on poles for trailcrs
Every hill is that way as fur us you
can see, only some of them that are
too rocky nave cliffs to them but on
top of the cliff YOU will find them.
1t a fellow started out to 20 to the
top of some of them pick grapes he
would have to take his dinner along,
for it is some climb up them even if
they have steps. One Of the boys
made n remark about getting to the
and after sazing at high hill he
said, Gee! they must use mir hooks
TO get up there"
After leaving Bercastlc VIC left the
river for time and went into some
mountains that were very nice, and
went up road that made me think
very much Of Lookout Mountain, for
1t was winding road, like it, and
had railing along the outer edge. II
Was 20 foggy that we could not see
over block away and when VIC got
to the top we were above the clouds
We were wishing all the time that /,
would clear up, for no doubt one can
see u long way and somc beautiful!
sights on that road. It took nearly
two hours to get to the top of it and
the way down was winding road too
but ut last we were down to the riv-
or again and after travelling for n
while longer we landed at this burg.
At first il did not look like we
would find any place to stay, for
there are no large buildings here, but
after look around they found places
for all Of us. Myself md five other
fellows are in room that IN very
home-likc. They have u family Of
eight children, the Oldest about 10
