Web Advertising

Well boys and girls, we have been learning all about web advertising and banner ads and such. We are saturating the gay web with happy images and descriptive passages of our upcoming European River Journey. Space continues to sell at a rapid pace and we urge you to get in on this cruise while you still can.

Terry is going over in September to inspect the ship and work on some details. He is going to travel the same itinerary as our charter and will be looking out for special little things that might appeal to our group.

My favorite part, besides the beer, is we are traveling through wine country. Through three distinct wine regions:

Franken, famous for the Bocksbeutel, a flat round bottle. Riesling and other early ripening grapes are prominent here and the region is known for it's powerful and earthy Silvaner wines. Spatburgunder (Pinot Noir) and Domina are the main red grapes here.

Rheingau, Riesling and Spatburgunder (Pinot Noir) vines carpet the slopes of the Taunus hills.

Mittelrhein, The spectacular stretch of river known as the gorge. Slate stone hills and a perfect micro climate have had vines thriving here for 2000 years. Ancient castle ruins and crisp, fragrant Rieslings define this region.

We will have to talk about the beers next time. Or the food?
