salmon would be so much--we can I
read the German menu very weIl-but
We found II to be 1000 marks each
5000 for two. OF course that sounds
worse than 1t is, for we often have to
pay that in America (that was about
500 Tor the two of us.) The rest OF

But to It'll you OF the trip. Every
minute of the thirteen hours was a
delight! There were cities with beau
tiiul homes all along the way, and then
there were quaint little villages dot
ted along each side-and each town
always has one very old church with
high tower which stands out above
everything else in the town. After
tht first two hours we We're in the
mountains. They were beautiful
not at all rocky but very green-cov-
cred with trees and shrubs, with the
sides sometimes 70 the very top cul-
tivated. There are vineyards mostly,

whole way. Then there are the most

The oldness of things impresses me!
Many churches or castles We're built
in 800 or beforehand some things
took US back as far as 12 A. ID. These
castles are usually high on the hills,
and so stand outlined against the sky.
The one pictured on the card is a
restored castle. Not so interesting
but some of them were beautiful. We
saw one large fortress in ruins.
We We're most excited at Coblenz to
see our flag floating from way up
high on the mountains and as We got
closer we found a beautiful fortress
all the way up the side of the noun
tain. We took picture of it-hope il
will be good. I've bought little box
