We left the Rhine for a little trip to the Mosel River Valley. Burg means "castle". We toured the amazing Burg Eltz in Moselkern. The Eltz family has resided in this castle for over 850 years - really amazing how intact it still is, both exterior and interior. Can't take pictures inside like most places, but the furnishings were just amazing. 80 rooms, 40 fireplaces, and 20 toilets I think - very comfortable living for its time. We took the scenic route getting there, which was a beautiful 45min hike up the hill along a nice little creek.
PS Germans love their dogs - they take them everywhere. We're missing Beaz for sure, but know Scout, Ben, and Maize are taking good care of her. Beaz - we talk about you and show pics of you to every German with a dog that we meet/pet, so don't forget about us!
