Being one who wants to do as much traveling as possible, I thought it would be more economical to purchase a one month regional train pass, which allows me to ride all the public transportation for free within the vicinity. It has proved to be much more economical and easier than purchasing separate tickets for each trip, and also allows for the freedom to just hop on the train, whenever. With the regiokarte I am able to easily catch a train to the swimming pool across town, or pick a random city to explore. While I had done a bit of research, I had decided to do just that on Sunday afternoon, with Auggen being the destination of choice. After finishing my homework for the weekend I caught the next train heading South. I was a bit surprised to be let off in the middle of a cornfield and wondered what exactly I had gotten myself into.
The destination proved to be perfect as I quickly found myself wandering through the vineyards. It was gorgeous! There are paths everywhere throughout the vineyards so I just went down whichever road seemed fit at the time.

I have no idea what this building is, and if it has any significance to the harvesting of the grapes. It's probably just a bathroom. 
There was an incredible variety of grapes to be found

I've been enjoying your blog and your time in Germany! Thanks for sharing. I just preached last week on the beloved vineyard in Isaiah--I wish you'd gone to the vineyard last week, as I would have begged permission to use your lovely pictures on the screens... (Yes, the new church has screens--forget what T. Long told us about painting pictures only with words--I get slides!)
I hope you're well, and keep updating!
