William and I decided to explore the castle that we claimed for the day.. Unfortunately William took his lap top so I was unable to add photo to this, however later today I will upload photos to my Yahoo   more...Photo page @ http://new.photos.yahoo.com/jaredsmommy2004/albums BTW @ 8:10 of the video is when William and I are on the very top of the castle (Amazing view) and as well I ended up getting a lot of shots of William's Adorable behind.

Also the bridge that we had to cross to get to the castle, FREAKED the hell out of me and needless to say when it was time to leave I waited for William to come across it before I got back into the car. All I could do when we went over the bridge was imagine our ultimately death as the bridge would collapse as we were on top of it and during that process I stressed William out making him think he was going to hit the side of the bridge with the car.  less

Video of the beautiful hotel room (that is actually a castle) *Wedding Suite that William booked for our 2 year anniversary.   more...The castle is located off of the Rhein River. The room came with a lot of great little guest book that was filled with tons of reviews and things they have found throughout the castle. However there were several times mentioned of this room being haunted. Needless to say, I'm not sure if my imagination went wild or not - but in the middle of the night I heard foot steps coming up the stair wells.. When the sound of the creek coming up the stairs stopped I saw a huge shadow go across the ceiling.. I ended up keeping William up for the rest of the night. ( more )  less

After leaving the castle, William and I went on the quest to find The Loreley. Finding Loreley was a adventure, since we followed the signs to get there only to go up a mountain. After searching, I finally   more...found a local and found out she was beneath us the whole time.

Written below in our Rick Steve's Tourist book:
The Loreley- Steep a big slate rock in centuries of legend and it becomes a tourist attraction, the ultimate Rhinestone. The Loreley, rising 135 meters (450 feet) over the narrowest and deepest point of the Rhine, has long been important. It was a holy site in pre-Roman days. The fine echoes here - thought to be ghostly voices - fertilized the legendary soil.

Because of the reefs just upstream, many ships never made it to St. Goar. Sailors (after days on the river) blamed their misfortune on a wunderbares Fraulein whose long blonde hair almost covered her body. Heinrich Heine's Song of Loreley tells the story of a count who sent his men to kill or capture this siren after she distracted his horny son, causing him to drown. When the soldiers cornered the nymph in her cave, she called her father (Father Rhine) for help. Huge waves, the likes of which you'll never see today, rose from the river and carried Loreley to safety. And she has never been seen since.

But atlas, when the moon shines brightly and the tour buses are parked, a soft, playful Rhine whine can be heard from the Loreley. As you pass, listen carefully ("Sailors...sailors...over my bounding mane")

Song of The Loreley:
I do not know what haunts me,
What saddened my mind all day;
An age-old tale confounds me,
A spell I cannot allay.

The air is cool and in twillight
The Rhine's dark waters flow;
The peak of the mountain in highlight
Reflects the evening glow.

There sits a lovely maiden
Above so wondrous fair,
With shining jewels laden,
She cambs her golden hair.

If falls through her comb in a shower,
And over the valley rings
A song so mysterious power
That lovely maiden sings.

The boatman in his small skiff is
Seized y a turbulent love,
No longer he marks where the cliff is,
He looks to the mountain above.

I think the waves must flung him
Against the reefs nearby,
And that did with her singing
The Lovely Loreley  less
