Bacharach, Our Castles: July 2005

In this picture you can actually see where both my tours for this summer stayed. We were right beside the Rhine river, which is to my back. (I'm taking this picture from the boat cruise.)
The Moms and Daughters group stayed in Burg Stahleck, the castle on the hill. The adult group stayed in the Kranenturm, which is the tower in front. Hundreds of years ago, that tower was used to unload wine caskets from ships on the Rhine!

We slept in this castle for 2 nights. Our room was actually up in the round rock tower just on the left of this picture. This is Burg Stahleck, a medieval fortress.

Phantom Candles Paris Opera House: Aug. 4, 2005

The girl's tour loved the Paris Opera House! They sang on the famous staircase and danced in the ballroom. Remember the candles that rise up out of the floor in the show? There are candelabra everywhere in the real Paris Opera House. This was the place to see and be seen by Paris Society of the 1870's.

Our Group in Front of Versailles Hotel: July 10, 2005

This is our group from Career Services who I took to Europe for 20 days in July 2005. They're wonderful people! Our hotel, Le Cheval Rouge, was originally a stable for Louis XIV.
