Koblenz Exporation



Flooding



On Saturday, I traveled to Koblenz on the bus.  It is about a 20-minute drive along the Rhine.  Much of the city is closed due to construction.  They are getting ready for the annual Rhine Valley & Koblenz Flower Festival.  It attracts nearly 1 million people from all over.  I plan on going in April.  The sidewalks on the Rhine are also closed because the Rhine is flooding.  It is the worst it’s been in 10 years.  The citizens put sandbags out to protect their houses and stores.  Today I am going to check out the damage.

After enjoying some delicious German bakery, we left Koblenz and headed back to Vallendar.  For dinner a bunch of exchange students met up and someone made a traditional Mexican dish for dinner.  Trying to find the ingredients for it was a bit of a problem, but we improvised.  Instead of using tortilla shells, we used crackers.
