http://thewidos.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 25, 2008. Zell on the Mosel River. It was a beautiful October day and time to explore the Mosel River region. We had never been to Zell before. well known for wonderful wines with a black cat label. What a quaint town. I enjoyed onion cake and fresh grape juice, a favorite Fall treat in this region that I have become addicted to. Wednesday, October 22, 2008. Briedel grapes on the Mosel River. There were a few grapes left. We took a ferry across the river. Some grapes are grown in slate.

Wido Wanderings: June 2008
http://thewidos.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 13, 2008. Sweden: Stockholm Gamla Stan. Stockholm, Sweden, we discovered, is a city of many islands. The oldest part is Gamla Stan where the residence for Swedish royalty remains today. This is the historic harbor. Above is the plaza outside the Nobel Peace Prize museum. We stopped for a moment to check out the amazing book store. The narrow cobblestone streets in this part of town are peaceful and picturesque. This historic Lutheran Church is beautiful inside and out. Well, apparently not.

Friday, November 14, 2008. Rhodes, Greece: The Apostle Paul stopped here. From ancient days, Rhodes has been an important island in the Medeteranean. One of the ancient wonders of the world was at this port. The Apostle Paul stopped here during his journeys. I felt like I was walking in the footsteps of history as I wandered over worn cobblestone. We saw a couple of churches with beautiful icons. One was an early church dating back to about 300 AD. View my complete profile. Cats of the Mediterranean.

Sunday, November 16, 2008. Shopping in the Mediterranean. I have found in our travels that taking a photo of shopping treasures is almost as enjoyable a memory as buying all the stuff. So enjoy with me a few fun pieces of tourist shopping in the Mediterranean! From Luxury to kitch. And of course t-shirts and post cards. View my complete profile.

http://thewidos.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 18, 2008. Mosel River in the Summer. Grapes grow all along the Mosel River. It is so relaxing to drive, bike or hike on a Sunday afternoon along the Mosel. Cochem castle is always lovely. We saw Beilstein from the other side of the river. It looked intriguing. A new place to explore. Bernkastle remains a favorite place. We try to go there often. Though busy on the weekends, we like to go on a weeknight. We grab an ice cream cone and wander the town. Sunday, August 3, 2008. We found a great...

Friday, April 18, 2008. Bob recently married a couple at a castle. It was a fairytale place to get married. It was my pleasure to be permitted to take photos in this lovely setting and post them here. When we got home I noticed Bob wore an interesting t-shirt under his shirt, appropriate to the occasion. It said "Loved the wedding. Invite me to the marriage. - God.". Http:/ www.eifel-exklusive.de/ en/08-restaurants/01-burg-rittersdorf/burg-rittersdorf-1.html. Saturday, April 12, 2008.

http://thewidos.blogspot.com/2008/11/bari-italy-where-st-nicholas-is-buried.html
Tuesday, November 11, 2008. Bari, Italy: Where St. Nicholas is buried. The old town of Bari, Italy is a simple walled city dating back hundreds of years. The streets are narrow with arches. Laundry hangs across the passageways. We walked along the wall to enter. There are a lot of churches in the old town. We also saw quite a few nuns walking around during the lunch hour.

Wido Wanderings: Katakolon, Greece: Where the Olympics began
http://thewidos.blogspot.com/2008/11/katakolon-greece-where-olympics-began.html
Wednesday, November 12, 2008. Katakolon, Greece: Where the Olympics began. We enjoyed watching the sun come up along the Greek sea shores as our cruise ship went towards the port of Katakolon. Our son and I decided to wander around the small town that day. We enjoyed the shops. The museum we hoped to see about ancient Greek technology was closed, to our disappointment. The Greek Islands have lots of painters who sell their lovely works for great prices. View my complete profile. Cats of the Mediterranean.
