DAS ECHO VOM KONIGSSEE...


As you can see, we had a nice dusting of snow in the alps last night...but the sun is out now and we are wandering through town window shopping.Here we are getting ready to board one of the little electric boats to go on our little cruise across the lake...we had our picture taken and almost fell into the water because the silly dog was chasing a ball! This emerald lake nestled between the alpine valley of Berchtesgaden, is the "Konigssee" (which means Kings Lake). Mommy has been here many times. It is unforgettable to ride the electric ship across the clear green water and listen to the amazing echo of the trumpet in the center of the lake.

How lucky can an old cat get to have such nice friends in the homeland! I was so surprised by their collective kindness. A thoughtfulness from far away that brought tears to mommies eyes....We thank you all so much.

ARRIVING IN GERMANY!

Oh what a pleasant ride we had over the big pond in our hot air balloon. It was a gift to us from our dear friend Jasper! It was a little windy at times but we snuggled under the warm blankets that Cory gave us for our wedding. I managed to pack all of my things quite nice in the Tuna Samsonite that Parker gave me. The picknick basket that Cheysuli packed for us came in handy when we got hungry! Here we are planning which cities we are going to visit...

I wanted to introduce Mickey to some of our Bavarian culture. So our first stop was in Berchtesgaden where we danced in the wildflowers on the slopes of the famouse Watzman after drinking a flask of Steinhaeger. This is such a wonderful alpine village, I wish you could be here with us. The cows, the cheese, the Alphorn players...oh how happy we are!
