San Francisco Sightseeing Articles

A couple of years ago, my wife and I faced a long wait on a Lufthansa journey from Lyon, France, to San Francisco. The only flight from Lyon to Frankfurt early enough to make the link left at 6 a.m., while my nonstop to San Francisco didn't leave Frankfurt until late afternoon. Rather than spend all day at Frankfurt's frenetic airport, we rented a car and drove to the charming Rhine town of Bingen, where my wife was interested in visiting some of the sites associated with Hildegard. The drive took less than an hour each way, and we had ample time to travel around that attractive village.
