Garmisch sits at the foot of the Alps in the German state of Bavaria. As we drove into the area on Wednesday via the autobahn, we encountered picture postcard scenes that nostalgically reminded Anita of one of her favorite childhood books, Heidi.
The first picture shows the mountains and the small farms near the resort. The rock wall in the foreground in the picture surrounds the resort.
Tourism is a major industry in the area. Parasailing (as shown in the second picture) is a major sport. Winter sports, especially skiing, are huge!
The city of Garmisch is clean and orderly...and beautiful! All of Bavaria we've seen so far is the same. Buildings, even older buildings, are well maintained; there are flowers everywhere.
We've had a number of opportu-
nities to sample authentic German foods. We won't leave Germany hungry! This could be harder on our diet than our cruise from Alaska. How do you pass up apple strudel...or how often...?
