On our only full day at Spangdahlem, we took the kids to see Cochem Castle. Cochem is a charming little town on the Mosel River, with gingerbread-front houses and a castle set atop a hill overlooking the town and river. We spent the afternoon hiking up through town to the castle and then stopped for a drink inside the castle. Many of the storefronts and houses were still decorated with bunnies and eggs for Easter. Brian ended up with a wooden sword as his souvenir and I have about 30 pictures of him in various fighting and guarding poses all over the castle and the walk back down. He is all boy and loves that sword! Even his sister will pick it up and turn into a pirate princess every now and then. After our walk (and Brian successfully beating back the Huns) we enjoyed a nice dinner at one of the riverfront cafes. And then off we went the next morning to the land of chocolate and cow bells and giant mountains………Switzerland!
