Joanne RobertsonFunny, I thought about that when I saw the bridge above the water. Also knowing that the autobahn has high speed traffic on it.

Mark BinghamTo Joanne RobertsonYeah, it's a loooong way down from there, but knowing these Germans, they probably engineered it so that it's almost impossible for a vehicle to go off the side. Plus, of course, EVERYone heeds warning signs so they'll all be driving more safely. ;-)

Steve Miller/GrampiesTypical old house staircase. You had to be tough to live upstairs in these places. Still do, actually.

Mark BinghamTo Joanne RobertsonAgreed. I really liked the stairs, in spite of having to carry all of our gear up them.

Joanne RobertsonToddlers are gonna bump their heads. They walk like little drunks. Plus, they usually need an adult to help them. I could totally see myself ducking under the turnstile to help my toddler.

Back in Koblenz we explored the town while deciding where we wanted to eat dinner.

Suzanne GibsonI did a little research on the function of the arches. First I asked my husband, he's a civil engineer and he should know I thought. But he was just as puzzled. So I googled and came up with a lengthy and very technical treatise by someone who was also looking for an answer. In the end he concludes it remains a mystery!

It's in German of course, but if you have the time and inclination,that is what Google translator is for.
The difference between limonade and lemonade was easier to answer.

Mark BinghamTo Suzanne GibsonThe article says, "In any case, the knowledge of the necessity or function of the arches has been lost over the centuries, because today's explanations are not sufficient to make their existence fully understandable. It will therefore perhaps remain a mystery forever...."
I kind of like the fact that there are things that are beautiful and unknowable. I appreciate the research, and give my thanks to Janos as well.

Rich FrasierBeautiful and unknowable things apparently include the reasons why your credit cards weren't accepted. This has happened to us occasionally, too. In several countries. Like you, we were able to use the card immediately afterwards in a different machine.
If there are any bored German scientists around, maybe we can get a learned treatise published on this mystery. :)

Mark BinghamTo Rich FrasierUnknowable, definitely. Embarrassing, definitely. Beautiful.... ehhhh, I'm not so sure. :-)
Suzanne has been very helpful in researching things for me. Maybe I should ask her!
