After picking mom up at the Munich airport, we took the train back to Garmisch so she could see my little mountain town and where I work. Night one we had dinner with my friend Samantha... at an Indian Restaurant! Not your typical German meal, but the food was great, and we did go to a German restaurant to have Bavaria's famous dessert... apple strudel... best I've tasted yet!
Day 2 we did lots of hiking... first to the gorge and then to the "halfway house." It's a little hut about 1/2 way up one of the mountains. This time we had traditional German food.... schnitzel, pretzels, specknoddlesuppe, and weissbier.... which mom actually liked! Then she came to work with me to see Edelweiss and have some good ol' American food at Zuggys.
Latte macchiato and gluwein (hot, spiced wine) to keep us warm!
Day 3 we took an Edelweiss tour to Linderhof Palace... one of King Ludwigs houses. Our tour guide was great, but since it is winter, all the pretty flowers were missing and all the statues were boarded up outside. So we had to buy a postcard and just imagine we were looking at it in the summertime! I think after 3 nights of staying in my room and walking to the bathroom, mom was glad to be finished with the dorm-style stay!
Sorry for the lack of pictures! You'll have to ask mom to see hers.. I didn't take many since I live here!
