To St Goar to explore........

This was our second trip to St Goar. The first time we went it was Summer, even without all the green it was breath taking! We didnt come to see the castle this time....... we came to explore the under ground mines. We packed our lunch and our flash lights (and chalk to mark the floor in the mines so we didnt get lost) for our adventure. We did a quick tour of the ruins just as a reminder and to see the amazing views, then we set off for the mines. Trav and I had to crouch down and in some areas almost crawl through the tiny damp spaces. Sarriah and Parker thought they were so neat because all they had to do was slighly tilt their heads forward.

We had to go in a certain order..... Trav first, then Parker, mommy and last Sarriah. Sarriah was holding my jeans so tight I thought she might rip them off. She was scared but so excited to be in the mines. We asked Parker to check one of the hall ways with the flash light to see if it was a dead end or if we could continue, (Trav would have had to literally crawl to check it) We told him we would watch him he looked around the corner and ran as fast as he could back to us. He told us it was a dead end but when we were back in the sunlight he said he was just to scared and that it really wasnt a dead end but he swears he saw something moving. We went through as many as we could handle. Crouching down like that can do a real number on your legs and back. OUCH!!!!

We drove down the Rhine aways and found a lovely park for our picnic. It was right below a great gothic cathedral and a castle. It was perfect!
