Espresso and apfelstrudel with a view



And the gelato at this riverside cafe got two thumbs up from the 3-year-old set!

The lower castle in the picture is Brunnenburg, our current home. The crofter-dwellers live in the white farmhouse behind the trees, and our (extraordinarily comfortable and charming) apartment is up one of the towers. The upper castle is Schloss Tirol, a regional museum, and the castle from which this region gets its name.

And yes, it's surrounded by a vineyard. Nik, of the family here, makes a nice vernatsch, and we enjoyed a bottle of lagrein, a popular local varietal, with dinner tonight.
