Stein am Rhein

On their way to Amei's home at Frauenfeld today, she and Rolf treated Peggy and Danny to a "roundabout tourist route" with some delightful Swiss sightseeing. Dan and I had mentioned earlier to Rolf our hope that Peggy could visit the old Castle of Hohenklingen, nestled in the hills above the town of Stein am Rhein, near Switzerland's wandering border with Germany.

From there, Peggy phoned home to share that the weather is warmish and delightful, and that she's a bit overwhelmed with what she's seeing. The first photo above (click on it) provides a panorama of Stein am Rhein. You can see the Castle in the background. Next shot is from high in the interior of the Castle - overlooking the town and the Rhein River. The third photo provides an idea of any street view in Stein am Rhein. These are shops near Rathausplatz (City Hall Square), the very center of town.
