New Year's Eve 00

Tarythe had to fly home on 30 December, so we went to the little town of Esslingen with some other friends, Scott and Muir Dean.  We then went to visit Stephan and Cym one last time before Tarythe flew home.

Debbie and Peter drove to Mainz on New Year's Eve to celebrate with Tom and Barb.  They had a hotel room overlooking the Rhine in Mainz and we watched fireworks from their room.  (None of the fireworks pictures turned out well.)  We toured Mainz on New Year's Eve and then drove down the Rhine to tour Rudesheim on New Year's Day.
