Fairy Tales & Alpine Coasters in Oberammergau {Germany}
You may remember our visit to Mittenwald a few days earlier. After a sudden bout of heat exhaustion sent us ducking into a small grocery store for air conditioning and water, we ended up talking with a lovely couple for over an hour.

Summer Days Around Munich {Germany}
We really love returning to places we’ve visited before and experiencing them in a different way. Sometimes you see familiar streets with new eyes.

Painted Houses, Mountain Views, Violins, & Masks- A Day in Mittenwald {Germany}

Enjoying the Christmas Spirit of Munich {Germany}
Our next morning in Munich, we were undecided where we would spend our day. Should we go to one of the many museums? Maybe take a more detailed tour of the city? Go back to a place that we saw through the bus window but didn’t visit? But ultimately we decided to spend the day…

A Cold Day Around Munich {Germany}
We got started on the wrong foot with Munich. We left Salzburg in the cold rain and were happy in thinking that we had a nice warm train ride that would take us down to Munich in a couple of hours. But no sooner had we gotten on the train when we were told they…
