Well today as you know megan is back in Louisville and I miss her terribly. Dad and I finally hooked up after some difficulty. He slept for a couple of hours then I awakened him. We went down to the Rhine River and after a brief stroll we had a great dinner at this outdoor cafe amongst several hundred young people celebrating the weekend.
Today we caught a train up to Clogone and toured this Cathedral and saw the "supposed" bones of the 3 wise men. .........shrouded in gilted gold. I bought a postcartd showing how everything except the cathedral was bombed out in 1945. Dad said Emma would have loved it. We then caught a plane down to naples followed by a train down to Pompeii. We have an unbelievable room in a pituresqueeeee setting. The whole train ride down here you could look to the left and see Mt Vesuvios and on your right the Adriatic Sea.....simply unbelievable. Super outdoor dinner under this vine canopy......Dad had me drinking wine that was grown on the slopes of Mt. Vesuvios while I listened to his rambling stories about the history of the early church and ancient Rome. Love to all.............a single lonely Ben...............Hurry to papa Megan
