Brandon's Trip to Germany

Brandon (Matt's brother) arrived in Frankfurt on Saturday morning. It was a bright, sunny day, so we decided to go straight to Burg Eltz, located about 2 hours from our house. This was the most secluded castle we have ever seen- not a single house or road is visible from the castle, only forest! This is also one of the only castles we've seen that goes up instead of out.

On Sunday, we went on a Rhine River cruise from Bingen to St. Goar, where we stopped for lunch, and back to Bingen. All together, we passed more than 10 castles on either side off the river and as you can see, we had awesome weather.





On Tuesday, the guys went to Heidelberg to see the Altstadt and Castle...another beautiful day!


On Wednesday, Matt and Brandon took a trip to Felsenmeer (sea of boulders) located about 15 minutes from our house.
