Whirlwind Tour

After our ten days of summer, complete with Mid-West August humidity, a cool breeze blew across Bavaria, and Mimi arrived.  The breeze soon whipped itself into a whirlwind as we packed our mornings with sightseeing before afternoon online classes claimed the eldest two Lopez students. 

Highlights included: 
  • The Old Stone Bridge in Regensberg (oldest working bridge over the Danube River)
  • Hiking to and picnicking at the castle ruins in Kallmunz 
  • Shopping for "gifts" at Seidl Confiserie (AKA the Chocolate Store) in Laaber ... twice
  • Exploring the walled village of Berching, Germany

Mimi braved the steep wooden stairs to walk on the wall.
  •  Lunching at a sidewalk pizzeria in Salzburg, Austria

  • Driving into the Alps ... it had to be on the list!
Fuschlsee, alpine lake
  • Enjoying the view of Lupburg ... near the castle

But if I know my mom, and I'm pretty sure I do,
The Highlight of her trip to Germany ...
