Day 1, Arrival and Boppard

---

Dave's Updates :

Howdy all. Made it to Germany safe and sound. Got to Frankford airport at 3:30 AM EST, 9:30 AM local time. Got the rental car (VW Polo) and set out to the Rhine River Valley. Stopped at some town I can't remember the name of and got to Boppard at about 4PM. We took a river road most of the way and it was a nice, slow scenic drive through a bunch of small tourist towns.

Boppard : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boppard

Boppard was great. We walked along the Rhine for an hour or so and then strolled around the town for another hour. We had dinner at a restaurant on the Rhine. The building was over a millennium old. Fish and potatoes for both of us and since we're in the middle of Riesling country, a couple of glasses each.

Crashed at 8PM after being up for over 30 straight hours.

Cheers,
Dave
