Roadtrip

Yesterday we drove down to Garmisch, a small ski-town in the mountains near the Austrian border. The snow has all melted away here, but down there you can still find some sleddable patches, especially on the shadowy sides of hills in Austrian villages nearby.

The area around Garmisch is gorgeous, with majestic mountains and picturesque little villages. Found lots of opportunities for pictures-- here's a small sample:



The boys, D and I stopped for an apres sled photo shoot. This is one of the few pictures from sledding that turned out at all. I'm sure it's because the rest of the time we were simply moving too fast to be caught on film.

Poor little bunny was so tired he kept falling asleep during dinner.
Small bistro in Garmisch. Whoever named the place must have had a grudge against the owner. WT(M)F???

LOL, that's so funny! I just looked this up at Wikipedia and the word (with a slightly different spelling - Muckefuck) is, or was, actually used to describe a coffee substitute. It comes from "mocca faux".

A childhood friend of my dad's who still lives in their home town in Bregenz, Austria married a woman from Garmisch and she told us many times how lovely it was there and how much she missed it.

Wow, Christina! Two points for you! I wanted to look it up but didn't know where to start.

Yeah, the area is gorgeous, I can see why she would have missed it!

Thanks, Lis! :-)
