Thank you, Pat. At least one person gets it.

Greg,

We were there last year, in May. We saw lots of vines. This September
we saw them full of grapes. Imagine how they work on those vineyards
on the slops near the Rhine river!

We really did like the Neuschwanstein castle. We have an annual pass
to Disney World. We went there almost every day this past January,
February and into March. They do look a lot alike.

Cathy did mention that the Neuschwanstein castle was a lot nicer than
the other castles we saw in Germany, not as run down. Although, they
could use an elevator, with the tour having to walk up all those
stairs.

Last year a little girl did try to put her hand in Cathy's pocket. She
was on a little pedal scooter. We were standing at a traffic light in
Lucerne.
