I was a tourist the only time that I spent in the Rhineland and all the beer was Somewhat cold. I did get tired of Coldcuts and cheese for breakfast. I got some bad vibes when I went thru Leikeistien. France sucked except for the Louve and the Eiffel Tower. Nortre Dame was cool. Bavaria and the Alps are a must see. Best place to go in MHO is Salzburg, Austria. Everyone needs to see the 12th and 14th century castles and Catholic churches from the same period. Just this from the Faithful!
