Three pictures, making a panorama of the Rhine River - The bridge in the background goes to Mainz-Kastel and Wiesbaden. Going up the river to the left
will lead you to Cologne, Koblenz, and many castles along the way. You can get a satellite view by going to the city map of Mainz.
Zoom in and you can see the bridges above and the one we had to cross.

to New Orleans Mardi Gras....
