Garmisch, Germany

We spent Martin Luther King Jr. weekend in the German Alps with our friends Melanie and Adam, and Mandy, Greg, Sam and Jack. We stayed in the American resort, Edelweiss, in Garmisch, Germany. It was a wonderfully relaxing weekend! We ate American food, watched TV, swam, and of course hung out with friends! To top it off, we had an amazing view from our room of snow-capped mountains.

On Saturday,we drove toLake Eibsee and were able to walk on it because it was thoroughly frozen. Being on the lake we had a beautiful panoramic view of the mountains surrounding the late. In the evening, we went on a torch-lit tour of the Partnach gorge. All of the waterfalls in the gorge were frozen and we were able to see some amazing formations. Unfortunately, there was no other light except from our torches, so we didn't get very many pictures. We thought about going back the following day, but it was dreary and cold and we decided to just relax instead! After the tour we warmed up with coffee and hot chocolate. Also, Melanie, Adam, and Carrie split the biggest cream puff you can imagine, while Kurt enjoyed warm apple strudel! As we were finishing dessert, the entire restaurant was serenaded by a yodeler.

Here are some of our pictures from the trip:
