Where in the world is Ausfart?


My very own four leaf clover! Cara's mom could pick them out so fast!
The Joyner Home

German Pics are UP! I had a great time! Castles, rolling hills, lederhosen and dirndls, trains, cathedrals, and field after field of sunflowers, corn, and hobs(what they make their beer out of). Bavaria is the southern state of Germany, where I spent most my time. The town i lived in was called Rechberg(bErg means hill or mountain). It maybe was home to 300 hundred people. It had a restaurant called The RechbergerHoff which was the village's biggest attraction. It served the best champignion(mushroom) schnitzel! I crave it. In germany and I hear other european places, they serve spaghetti and lasagna icecream. Its cool. Of all the flavors i liked stracciatella best, I think Maria suggested it.

 
THE GERMAN ALPS

The most beautiful lake i have ever seen,nestled in the german alps. The water was crystal clear, almost tropical looking.


WalHalla( W is pronounced V)
Its like the german parthanon, full of ceramic busts of famous germans. Built by order of King Ludwig I. It was undergoing some preservation when we went.


 
Awesome architechure everywhere. Every little town has its own church that looks lik this, a lot have the bulbs on top. The pic on the left is a huge building, I think a theatre.

German people have the best taste in flowers and lanscaping. They all keep their lawns in impecable neatness, and most homes have beautiful flower boxes in their windows, I lovedthat.

this reminds me of peter pan, it was part of a huge Poseidon fountain by a palace of Loopy Ludwig II. They called him loopy cause he liked swans, didnt like girls, was way into fantasy stories(built the chitti chitti bang bang castle) and kept to himself.
