Koblenz 6-9-10

We got up and walked to Christine's (mom's frined) which is two blocks from where we are staying. We had a lovely breakfast there and then the three of us wanked down to the bus stop where we met Bridget (the woman who's flat we are renting) and took the bus to the city.
Bridget is preparring to take the tourguide test this November so she practiced on us. She did an awesome job even though I was giving her a hard time because I want to know the dates of things. We got to see pretty much everything that was left to see (as 85% of the city was distroyed in WW2). My favorite was the fountian that Napolean built to celebrate his victory over the Russians that the Russians later wrote "seen and approved" on. I also climbed to the top of the Kaiser Wilhelm statue of German Unity.
We returned to the flat at about 4 and rested for a bit before returning to Christine's for supper at 6. We were there, laughing and drinking and telling stories, until 10 when wwe returned to get some sleep.

Today will be all travel to get back to Zurich and then fly out tomorrow. It has been a great vacation.
Except my suitcase died and I need to take it back to the store and yell at them for the shotty construction.

We got up and had a very lovely breakfast before checking out and heading the one block to the train station. The second train had to detour and skip the stop to the Frankfurt airport because of an accident. It had nothing to do with mom - she's been very well behaved since the church incident. We got into Koblenz just about five minutes late. Mom's friend picked us up at the train station and now she and mom are deep into stamping land so they set me up on the computer so I could stay out of their hair. It must be working because I have no clue what they are up to. We will get a tour of the city tomorrow.
I spent a little time updating the website but I'm not on my computer so I don't have the ability to add pictures. Our apartment (flat) in the city here is very nice and sizable. I will enjoy our time here. Mom is having a great time now that she is with her friend.
