Tall Tales from Kansas

the world is full of beautiful places

View of Wallgau from the trails above the village.

What a spot we landed ourselves in.  My but the world IS full of beautiful places.   

with warm goat cheese that had a drizzle of honey on it

At the outdoor patio with checked tablecloths in Kochel Am See, where the chef, who was the only one who spoke a bit of English, came out and told us what he was making.

I selected the salad with warm goat cheese that had a drizzle of honey on it.  An excellent choice as you can clearly see.  

*Zum Giggerer was the name of the spot.  Mark it as a favorite so you don’t miss it when you come to Germany.

a charming sound to encounter

This morning, on a walk along the wonderful hiking/biking trail system in Bavaria, I happened upon these horses.

Wearing bells.  I don’t know how they feel about it, but it’s a charming sound to encounter while out for a morning stroll.

eating cake for breakfast

Knitting a sock.  Resting.  Absorbing.

Sleeping in.  Eating cake for breakfast if we want to.

I have landed in a Bavarian fairy tale.  

Complete with blue and white checked tablecloths.  

it’s a mad, mad, mad, mad, world

Part of the Black Forest ride.  Spotted in Mittenwald.  

It made me want to watch It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World again.
