The representatives of the program shared with us the vision and examples of the successful program.
A school group was also visiting the library and we joined them for some reading and conversation.
The foundation focuses on encouraging pleasure in reading to promote literacy skills. The youngsters enjoyed the reading morning and seemed keen on asking us many questions about our lives and teaching.
We also had time to visit the Dom and the GUTENBERG MUSEUM DER STADT MAINZ, the World Museum of Printing.
We had the opportunity to see two of the original Gutenberg bibles, and that is always a treat.
We had lunch in the Mainz old town which was in the middle of a festival with many foods and beverages to satisfy all visitors.
We proceeded by bus to St. Goar to take the boat tour to Bingen. 
We had a few minutes to enjoy St. Goar which is a quaint small town on the Rhine River.
The boat ride was lovely, and the weather was sunny and warm.
We took in the views of "world-famous rocky outcrops, steep vineyards, quaint little towns, formidable fortresses and the Lorelei, all symbols of a legendary, turbulent past." 
As you can see, many photo opportunities!
We shared the Farewell dinner at WEINGUT KRUGER-RUMPF Vineyard restaurant near Bingen, and the food and company were wonderful.
The study tour has been a fantastic experience. I don't want it to end...
