Along the Rhine...

Bacharach, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany
I NEED TO TELL YOU ABOUT THE PLACE WE ARE STAYING. WE ARE STAYING ALONG THE RHINE RIVER IN AN OLD WATCH TOWER THAT HAS BEEN TURNED INTO A HOTEL BY A LOCAL COUPLE. THE OWNER AND CHEF (EXXXCELLENT CHEF) IS A LOCAL GERMAN MAN. HE IS MARRIED TO FATIMA. PRONOUNCED FAH-TEEMAH. FATIMA IS FILIPINO. CRAZY? YES. SHE IS THE HEART OF THE HOTEL! WE WALKED INTO BREAKFAST AND I SEE FATIMA WAVING US IN AND DANCING TO THE BACKGROUND MUSIC..."EVERYBODY WAS KUNG FU FIGHTIIIING"....I SMILED :) FATIMA PERSONALLY DECORATED EACH ROOM. THE ROOMS ARE ALL DIFFERENT, BUT HAVE A COMMON THEME OF BRIGHT CHEESY NEON COLORED SILK. OH AND SOMEHOW, SHE MANAGED TO GET GLITTER ON THE WALLS. YOU HAVE TO LOOK CLOSELY, BUT YOU CAN SEE THE SPECKS ON EVERY ROOM WALL! I HAVE REALLY ENJOYED MY STAY AT BACHARACH! (LET ME SAVE YOU THE TROUBLE...IT IS PRONOUNCED BOKARAH). AFTER BREAKFAST WE TOURED THE CITY. A LOCAL MAN NAMED HERR JUNG (MR. YOUNG) TOOK AROUND THE CITY, SHARING HIS KIDELIFE EXPERIENCE IN BACHARACH. HE WAS "80 MINUS 1 YRS OLD" AND HE MOVED ALONG SO QUICKLY! I THINK HIS GOOD HEALTH IS DUE TO HIS PASSION TO SHARE HIS CITY :)
