Idar Oberstein is a pretty cool village with a gem mine. They hide gems in a field and let the kids find them. You can also pay as an adult and go mining for real. Sam wanted to do this before his baptism. He has really liked learning about rocks and gems. (We will have to introduce him to Uncle Cal and Aunt Joyce).
After we took a tour in a mine and saw some large amethysts and gems that looked like a raw steak. We hope to come back to this village and tour the cathedral in a mountain.
