A few from around the church

A brief history- 3 years ago my parents decided we needed to see some of their favorite places in Europe. They have gone evry year for maybe 12 yrs now. So for the last 3 April vacations my DH, 2 DD'd and myself have had to pleasure of joining them. An awesome experience.

Hey, you were in my neighbourhood! Seriously!!!!

I don't take photographs inside churches but I am admiring yours of die Wies. Have you ever been to Ettal, just up the road? I quite often stop there on the way home.

And Linderhof is a favourite place of mine to go for a walk - I haven't been inside the castle in years, as I enjoy just walking the grounds.

Thanks for sharing a little piece of my world!

Well- you have a BEAUTIFUL neighborhood. Unfortunately, we only spent 1 day there and only saw the 2 castles, Weis Church and the Zugspitze. We will def. go back someday to see more of Germany. I spent 3 days in Munich back in '85.

You can see why I am rather fond of my place.. Thanks again for sharing!!!

Here is a photo near the Zugspitze

Salzburg is actually my favourite city to visit in the area; I used to live 15 minutes away and would go after work!

Beautiful picture. What town do you live in?

Oh, how lucky you are, bavaria! I've been to Ettal several times. So beautiful and serene. And the liquor those monks make there is awfully good too! That is truly one of the most beautiful areas in the entire world.
I lived in Wiesbaden for 5 years--I'll tell you, I wish I was back there.

wow, this brings back my youth hostel days.

...the bridge....looks like a newer one compared to my pictures
& alot more safer.

...the church....is also painted a different color.

[ i liked the story behind why the catholic church built it. regarding
the miraculous image of the scourged savior. "the church of
pilgrimage" ...is so insightful.]

..when i went, it cost...4.30, dm.

your chateau ..looks alot like the house...i was staying ...in
garmisch~pachtenkiccheu. [ german families had lil'-signs hanging if
they accepted over~nighters...].

do they still decorate their cows with flowers boquets?

* what i thought was ironic..here i came, half across the world, and
our guide...was an american. {we struck up a friendship..so i got
to roam all thru the castle..by myself...." a king is a king...is a king",
i can still hear him describing the benefits. what i remember...having
an indoor "pond"..for keeping fresh fish. funny how food is easy to
jogg the older ..brain cells...

whose from salzburg? ahhhh, is the casino still operating? & the
haus der natur "naturkunde-museum? * they have a really
neat old fort....and church too!...i used to watched the old fellas
played chest outside..where children moved the pieces. & isn't
mozart from there?

..while vienna..is a big city....its also very beautiful and intriguing...
like..palazzo di belvedere. and the spanish riding school.

pin trading?...it was a traditional to trade coins with those you
met @ the hostels. [ i still have my coins & my lowenbrau &
schottenhamer liter mugs..."willkommen zum oktoberfest". ]

..& my back pack. ..i vmust been a sight,



today...when my children inquire , i sorta redirect that the "mugs" were
used for..milk. cholocolate. sweet? [ i'm a pro @ procastinating~ ].



oh, how i got around...here's a pic,

much..like archimedes from ,"the sword in the stone".

may be with you!
