Day Trip: Cochem and Reichsburg, Germany

In the past few weeks, it finally getting sunny and warm outside! This glimpse of spring time sadly did not last long before it started raining every single day. Of course, in a month it will be burning hot and neither our house nor work have air conditioning, so we have to enjoy the weather before it turns miserable again. Several weekends ago, we drove to Cochem with some friends of ours to get out of the house and explore somewhere new.

Day Trip: Burg Eltz and the Moselle Valley

Greg had a four day this weekend, but since tomorrow is my first day of work, we wanted to take it easy. There is a huge wine festival in town this week that we almost went to, but changed our minds late on Friday night when Greg decided we should check out some castles instead. Next week, we'll probably head over to the wine fest. Saturday, we took a very scenic drive through the Rhineland countryside and visited one of the oldest and never destroyed castles in Germany, Burg Eltz.
