Saturday, April 1--We went to Idar-Oberstein today.  This town is famous for it's mines and gem-stone cutting, so of course Grandpa was really interested in everything.  We visited the Kelsenkirche, the Museum Idar-Oberstein, and the Gem Mine.   

Ready for my adventure!

                 The Felsenkirche was built in the 1400s in the side of the cliff overlooking Oberstein.  We had to walk up 230 steps to visit the inside. 

            The Idar-Oberstein Museum has rocks and minerals from all over the world. 

This is where we ate lunch at

Grandpa and Dad went into the Mine to see how the stones were mined in the 1800s.  I took a nap in the car with Grandma and Mom instead of going in.
