Over the weekend, Tanja taught us some new German words: Alamo = awesome, and genau (sp?) = exactly. I'm almost fluent now! :-)

| At the winefest at Oberwesel - before the fireworks |
The weekend in Wahlbach was definitely Alamo! In addition to the wonderful visit with our German family, we visited Rheinfels Castle in St. Goar, then stopped at a few more villages along the Rhine River. In the evening, we saw the most incredible fireworks EVER!! It's no wonder that the Rhine in Flames draws people from all over Europe. It was so interesting because there weren't actually that many fireworks, but the music and presentation was so dramatic and very well done. Definitely the best that any of us have ever seen. Of course, it didn't hurt that it was a picture-perfect evening. Nice warm weather. GREAT company - 10 of us all together. And a few bottles of good German wine at the winefest. It simply doesn't get any better!

| Happy birthday, Guenther. Go Packers!! |
At midnight, we gave Guenther our gift to celebrate his 65th birthday on Sunday - a Green Bay Packers jersey. It was a really fun ending to a perfect day!
