Lunch on the Rhine - Wine Tasting and Music Museum

Menu and Vegetarian selections

For lunch, they gave us an appetizer board which had white sausage, potato salad and some other things in really little dishes. Mike had the carvery

which was several kinds of pork and Lesley and I had the lentil soup (which was good - had sausage in it) and the

Beer Brewer Lye Baguette

which had ham and cheese in it. I just ate the cheese. We had

Bavarian cream with blueberries for dessert.

During lunch, I took photos from the dining room

Mike and Lesley went for a wine tasting excursion.

I went back to my cabin and took a couple of photos from my window.

Then I tried to edit photos and use the internet. I would go to the AOL page, and see that there is an email there, but I can't get it to open because the internet is so spotty. Even when we are standing still. I've tried it in the middle of the night and it is still bad.

Lesley asked if I would like to go out and look around town, but it was cold and raining and I thought not.

Mike said he had too much meat at lunch and did not come to dinner.

Dinner menu

So Lesley and I ate without him - we had

Tuscan Bread Salad

(which was a regular salad with some pieces of bread in it)

Cream of Parmesan soup

(very good), and I had

Sauerbraten

and Lesley had chicken. Then we had

Salted Caramel Cake

for dessert. I ate the caramel icing off the top.

Lesley went to the music museum - they go by a little train. But there would be some steps, and it isn't a guided tour and so I thought the better of it. She brought me back the photos of it.

Tomorrow we drive down the Rhine again to a town called Ludwigshafen, which is a 45 minute bus ride from Heidelberg. I'd like to go, but the tour is 5 hours and I know I can't do that.
