Friday, September 22
At dawn I jumped into the car and drove out to the vineyards and up a hill overlooking Edesheim. Like the fairytales, morning fog surrounded the town. As the sun came up, it quickly burned off revealing the church steeple backed by rolling hills and high mountains in the background. If I had not gotten in on tape, no one would believe that such places exist.
After breakfast we did a bit of site seeing and drove to St. Martin, a tiny village in the foothills. Even more charming that Edesheim, St. Martin is bracketed by mountains and two mediaeval castles. I need to come back some day with Julie.
Saying goodbye to Werner, Kurt, Joyce and I headed back to Worms to meet up with Rick Steves and begin shooting our video. As planed, Rick arrived and we got our work done. We shot at the St. Peter’s Cathedral, and near the banks of the Rhine River. In the afternoon we drove north toward Marburg. Our hotel was in the town of Wolf Hausen. Here we met up with our principal photographer, Peter Rummel. Rick and Peter had been in Europe for the past month shooting new episodes of Rick’s Travels in Europe.. Since Peter was already in Europe, we didn’t
need to spend money to fly him over. It saved us quite a bit. After dinner we had a late night script meeting and then finally to bed.
