Some Vinyards

They have a special machine to harvest the grapes on the slope. It goes up and down the slope, rather than across.

Today, in Mainz, we went to the Gutenberg Museum. He was the one who started mass printing. Since he couldn’t print in colors, the manuscripts were printed and the colors added by hand. He also started with parchment paper, but soon changed to paper he got from Italy, as it was less expensive and worked better.

    Aren't those steep vineyards amazing! Ken was the "printer" when our group went to the Gutenberg museum in Mainz. Somewhere here at home we have the paper he printed. What a revolutionary technology! ..Lois

      We didn’t get to pull the lever, but what a fascinating experience.
