Day 25

Bob’s Sabbatical

Day 25, September 24, 2009

 

            Get
Chris to car place, and he is on his way to Luasanne.  Sarah wants to visit castle in a town about
an hour away.  Off we go.  On the way we seen more clean, green
farms.  No wonder the Speicher brothers
who farmed my Grandfather’s place kept it so neat.  They were Pennsylvania Dutch (from German
immigrants who spoke Deutsch, hence the name). 
As we near the town and the Alps, we see more and more tour buses.  Arrive at town, and it is full of tourists.  Actually two castles in town.  We decide to eat lunch, and drive into
Austria on the way home.

            In the
middle of the Alps we find green valleys, tall trees, steep rocky
mountainsides.  I have now been in
Israel, Turkey, Greece, Hungary, Germany and Austria on this trip!

            Sign in
hotel has been advertizing Fiddlers tonight. It is in a little burg just down
the road.  We get there and find Irish
pub with Haufbrau beer sign out front. 
Today is the 250^th anniversary of Guinness, so I have one to
celebrate this historic event.  Susan and
Sarah not up for Irish food, so we head into Murnau, happen onto Spanish place
run by English woman, and have a wonderful dinner.

            Peace,
