Headed Through the Switzerland and Germany to Garmish.
Garmish is where the 1936 Olympics were held. Hitler built a stadium. which is very small by today's standards.
We headed out to Mittenwald. A cute little town with shopping.
Then we headed up the mountain to Ettal where there is a monastery and a beautiful church. Every town has a church standing in the center of the town with all the stores and houses surrounding it. On the hour, you hear church bells ringing in every town.
Then we headed to Oberammergau. This town is known for the passion play. Over half of all the towns people participate in the play which runs every ten years. It takes about 2200 people to put it on. It is known all over the world. The town is made up of many little streets filled with stores. I bought my manger here. Lots of little wood carvers.
Ended the day by swimming and the hot tub and then dinner at the See Hotel across the street, looking at the Zupspiten! Most beautiful mountain reflecting in the lake.
As we crawled into bed we head fireworks and ran down to the end of the hall - The USA military base was shooting fireworks for the 4th of July! Beautiful end to the day. You know I love my fireworks!
