More of Eltville
































I promised other people in the pictures beside myself. Helmut is getting a real good whiff of the rose fragrance.


Eltville had roses blooming all over the place - A big rose show was scheduled for the first Sun. in June so every garden was looking spectacular. Many of the roses gardens were inside the castle grounds but there were roses along the promenade, on the buildings and in private gardens.


The huge white rose bush is growing all over an old dead tree.
The mauve colored flower on the wall looks like a rhododendron.
We decided that the best thing for us was to tour the Rhein on the river road with the car - so away we went on the very sunny road. We could see lots of vineyards all up and down the mountain sides, many old castles and ruins up on the mountains and lovely scenery just slightly veiled in haze.

Everywhere you look, it's beautiful. The flowers are gorgeous. I think you must have been there at the best time of the year. Thanks again. Love, Pat
