Next we were off to Germany for two nights. Our first stop was in St. Goar along the Rein. We saw all the vineyards that grow along the 75' slopes.

We did a wine tasting and were able to try ice wine in the only other region that can compete with the Niagara region.

Munich is the major city in the German region of Bavaria. Not surprisingly it is also the hometown of the Bavarian Motor Wagen company. We didn't have enough time to visit but we did see the new BMW 5 in downtown Munich before we saw it anywhere else (for at least a month).

Steve and myself demonstrate the proper way to hold the 1L beer stein.
The very talented dancers and musicians preformed during dinner. However they could be reciting the meaning of life and everyone would just be waiting for their dress to lift while the spin.
Apparently the Munchen football team won some cup that night.
