Monika’s family graciously invited Holly and me to come to Germany to visit the family and to travel around a bit. We spent two full weeks there in October. I visited Monika’s 95 year-old mother several times, and we spent many happy hours with Monika’s two sisters and family members. One of Monika’s nephews generously gave up his apartment in Munich for us for several days. We toured several local towns in Lower Bavaria, spent four days in the Austrian Alps, stopping off at the formidable fortress of Hohenwerfen on the way back, and took a castle tour in Upper Bavaria, including Oberammergau and the famous fantasy castles of King Ludwig II, Linderhof and Neuschwanstein (which prohibit taking pictures inside). Click on the subject titles below for collections of pictures by both Holly and me.
