Stein am Rhine, Continued

Moving On

A farmers market was just closing.

Saints and martyrs




Then we turned in to see the old poor folks’ accommodations, vagrant quarters, and drunks lock up.


“For the sick, poor, and old “







The courtyard of the poor folks building

Now clean and renovated for offices.

A back street 


Pretty doorways

Then Mary wanted to set foot in Germany, so we took a walk…

Out of town…

Below the castle…

To the unused border station 

Grenzstein means boundary stone

Thus


Officially in another country

D = Deutschland 


Evidence 


The toll house


Then we went down to greet Old Father Rhine


Then visited a church

Obviously Reformed: no cross, little art.


With a fine organ


Then headed back to the car, quite thoroughly toasted and roasted 




With intent to see the Rhine Falls up the river a bit - later
