While Billy and Sandy were here we checked out a wine fest at Lisberg Castle. Built in 828....thats 8hundred 28 it is one of the oldest standing castles in Europe. It still blows my mind that I am seeing history that is thousands of years older than the United States. We took a tour and though it was in German had a very nice worker who in VERY broken english translated it for us. An interesting fact was that Napoleon had stood right where we stood at one time and gave the castle over to the Family that occupied it after that for almost 200 years. It was really cool and afterwards we sampled some wine from the local vineyards and some Kuchen(cake) made by the locals. The most amazing part was that it is about 10 minutes from our house!
