This weekend (and next weekend) is the wine festival in the neighboring town of Wachenheim. Yesterday we hung out at the castle and this evening we went into town to enjoy the nice weather and some dinner. In the middle of town is the Schloss Wachenheim winery which supplies ten percent of the world's sparkling wine ... more than any other winery in the world. And it's quite tasty! We'll have to try to bring some to the US for some of you to try.
Here are some tables set up for the festival with the Wachtenburg castle in the background. We can see this castle from our southwest-facing balcony at our apartment and it's a pleasant walk up to the top of its tower for a nice view:

Here's a pretty white church in the evening sunlight:
Biking home. It's only about 2km from our apartment to the wine festival because we live on the border between Bad Dürkheim and Wachenheim.
A view over towards Ludwigshafen (you can just see a few of the smokestacks in the distance):
