Bavaria!!!

I know that my allegiance should be aimed more to the northern part of Germany as my family hails from East Prussia, but I can't help it ~ I simply love Bavaria. It's lush and rural and quaint and sunny.


The girls and I found a cute little Gasthof from where we would take a few day trips. Heaven ~

Other than strolling and shopping, our big trip from here was to the Eagle's nest: a mountain top retreat given as a gift to Hitler


The view from the top was breathtaking!

But it was FREEZING ~ and we did not have the right outer wear (that's what happens when you live in the desert!!!)


The Edelweiss ~
