These posts are a chronological mess, but I'm procrastinating the postings of our trip to India because there are WAY too many photos to choose from! So for now we'll jump ahead to our trip home from Sri Lanka back in April. We stopped in Frankfurt on the way home for a week and drove down to Southern Germany and to Salzburg in Austria. We used Barkley as the excuse - the poor boy is far too old to handle a 24-hour plane ride all in one shot these days, right?? So we dropped him off at a big dog hostel they have at the end of the runway in Frankfurt (the Germans do love their dogs, after all), and headed off through the countryside. The weather could not have been more perfect. We met up with our friends Dave, Leslie, and their son Max in Schwangau, right below the infamous Castle Neuschwanstein. The weather was beyond perfect, the scenery was about as different from Sri Lanka as you could get, and the dandelions were everywhere!
Before long it devolved into a sort of out of control photo-shoot/fairytale.
We went to dinner in nearby Fussen, where I ate a whole lot of pork...
...and Max, Gavin, and Ruby ate a whole lot of ice cream.
Gavin had an ice cream hangover the next morning.
Oh yeah, and there's a castle there too.
Huh? Sri Lanka who?
So beautiful. What a nice way to ease back into Western life.
