Wandering Through Zons Germany An Old Town Visit
The narrator describes a three mile walk from Dormagen toward Zons, entering its walled fortress with watch towers, a windmill, and a small chapel where two nuns chant devotions. He notes whitewashed houses, odd gables, and a maze like Parisian labyrinth streets, then dines at the Zeus castle hotel with age worn beams and a compact orchestra loft. The piece ends with reflections on Rhine scenery and mourning in Germany for Otto von Bismarck and praise for American respect.
