Wow....another great day on our trip. After having a typical German breakfast (eggs, cheese, bread, ham, coffee, etc) we were off for a major hike through the grape (wine) vineyards of the Eifel area of Germany. Totally incredible...I cannot even describe the beauty of the scenery, and pictures do not even do justice to what we saw. These views we saw can only be memories that Gail and I will carry in our minds for years to come. Grape Vineyards, after vineyards just winding through and around the hills. We hiked through the vineyards for over 5 miles. Just an amazing walk and site to see with the small towns and villages down below the winding hills that we hiked.
I took well over 100 pictures, but I cannot imagine that they captured even a fraction of what we saw. I had to stop often and just say "wow". We had parked the car in Altenahr and took a train to Rech. From Rech we hiked back to Altenahr to the car..... but before we got in the car to head "home" we had to stop in a Weinstube for a few carafes of the local blend.... a red wine that was quite smooth and tasty....a semi-dry type that even Gail enjoyed. Absolutely an outrageous day. We then headed back to Peter's place for a bit or relaxation and beer. 
We are just sitting around now getting ready for a fondue dinner which Peter is currently preparing. Tonight we will most likely relax and indulge on more of the local libations.......beer, wine and schnaps.
