Tuesday, May 8 ... Garmisch and the Bavarian Alps

We spent the morning wandering around the town of Garmisch.  We did some sightseeing and shopping. 

The Richard Strauss fountain is in the center of the shopping district.  Richard Strauss was an operatic composer; his work followed the lead of Richard Wagner. 


And what's a trip to Bavaria without finding someone in a Tirol hat ...

But seriously, I took a picture of Jeff in a Tyrol hat, mostly because he nixed wearing lederhosen ...


After getting our fill of t-shirts and postcards, we set out for the Neuschwanstein Castle.  The route from Garmisch to Fussen took us close enough to the Alps, you could almost reach out and touch them.
