“To the Castle, Armin!”

Today is an off day. As I mentioned before, we agreed to sleep in and meet at the bus at noon for a trip to the base food court for a late breakfast. No problem except that I woke up at 12:17 thanks to John knocking on my door. A quick “bird bath” and lots of deodorant and we did brunch and a little nosing around the base PX.

Armin then gave us the choice to go to an old Rheinland castle or back to the rooms. It was a no brainer and off we went to the castle at Burg Lichtenberg. Much of it has been destroyed over the years (give it a little slack as construction on it began in 1200) but it was still pretty cool to walk around those ruins and see not only a little of old German history but some pretty views of the German countryside as well.

Here’s one of many shots that were taken there:



And the band together an another area of the castle



Bob was his usual thankful self:



And Thom found what looks like a wishing well:



Hoping for a Rodney Carrington cut maybe?

I found a cool gate at one area:



That’s it for now. Tomorrow we head to Ramstein for another show. More later.

Thanks for being here with us!
