Back For More~

Here I am back in Cochem-TWO DAYS LATER!

I just LOVE IT!!!

My friend Maiya is new to the area and 

had not yet visited this charming city so I had 

NO PROBLEM

taking her back for a visit to this lovely town.  

 We had quite the adventure getting there!  When I came with 

Jim on Saturday his GPS took us right into the part of the city 

we could park in.  But my GPS had a "bit of fun" with us.  It 

tried to literally drive us into the center square where all the 

tourists WALK-no cars!!  We had to wander our way out of 

that predicament, but as we did we came across a BEAUTIFUL 

view of the Cochem castle and had to stop to get a picture.  It 

was raining for a bit when we arrived so the mist clouds the view 

but the mist makes for a shot of typical German weather. :-)

 Here is another shot showing more of the vineyards

growing down the hill from the castle.  This part of 

Germany is known for the vineyards and wine produced.

Maiya also took me into a store that besides selling wines

they sold flavored vinegar for cooking.  We sampled five

flavors; I didn't know you could sample vinegar!!  I will be 

taking Jim back for his own samples and bringing 

some bottles of vinegar home, they were delicious!

 Cute little German house on our hike to the castle.

This view is a bit hazier than the one Jim and I took

on Saturday, but still just as beautiful in it's own way.
