Straight to the TOP!

We've made it to the Edelweiss Lodge and Resort in Garmisch, Germany. On the way to Garmisch we stayed in Linz, Austria with yet another great Servas family, Walter, Birgit, and Felix who fixed us homemade apple struedel, and wiener schnitzel. We then hopped on a train for a five hour ride to Germany. The train ride was wonderful as the leaves are in full color this fall! On our first day we rode the train and cable car to the highest peak in Germany, the Zugspitz. Here are some pictures. From the top you can see four different countries, we think they are Germany, Austria, Italy and Switzerland. Melissa's parents arrived safely and we are staying at US Army military housing as their guests. It is truly luxurious. We have our first bathtub and we have ice cubes! Yipee. We will not however put the ice cubes in the bathtub.
