In Bayern, the Biergartens are open for business

[Eurobabe]

It's Spargel season, the weather is picture perfect. The beer is cool. Couldn't ask for more, except the ability to still go skiing. (sigh)

[Callalily]

1. How beautiful! And how

green! Here things are just beginning to green up!

[TahitiNut]

2. (tsk, tsk) Two words: water skiing

Even though scuba diving is even better. :dunce:

[Eurobabe]

3. I don't think you can water ski on the German lakes

at least not mine. Only windcraft are allowed on it. Rescue vehicles are gas-powered. Might have to go to Italy to do that? Lago di Garda?

I don't dive, can't because of ear problems, hubby is recontemplating the BMW GS again, it's a fabulous touring bike for two. :hi:

[TahitiNut]

4. Ohhhh! Hobie cats!

Loooovely. :party:

[Eurobabe]

5. Windsurfing too

Yeehaw!

[Eurobabe]

6. Another photo of the 'Gemütlichkeit'

[jhain]

11. is that you

in the blue apron?

[Eurobabe]

15. LOL, my husband says I should get a Dirndl

it "would look REALLY nice on me," if you catch my drift.

I might just do it. :rofl:

How's the chicks? So sorry I missed them in May. :(

[jhain]

17. sure, a Dirndl

and nothing else, right? Those husbands...

The chicks are AWESOME- running and jumping and stretching their little chicken legs!... They will receive you with open wings next month.

7. Beautiful!

...but where are all of the tracked vehicles?...when I was in Germany no landscape was complete without tracks out tearin' things up... :hide:

BTW...congratulations to Meg!!! :toast:

[Eurobabe]

8. The tracks have long disappeared

it's just pristine and green everywhere. I hope to get out today and take some local pictures.

Thanks re: my girl, she's one in a million. We're very proud of her! :hi: BTW, if your daughter is at Hahnemann, chances are Meg might have crossed her path, that's where all her classes were, in the College of Nursing and Health Professions.

[Adsos Letter]

9. No tracks...?

...no diesel smell...no torn-up cobblestones...no plowed-through wheat fields...no angry civilians?

Good, it's about time...those are some images that stay with me though...

Re: daughters...they may very well have crossed paths...Beth had classes at university as well as rotations through Hahnemann for different learning blocks. This summer she starts her surgical rotations through two hospitals in New jersey, and one rotation at Hahnemann, so...no rest yet for the kiddo.

Looks like we'll be heading towards you and MissHoneychurch this summer(which is to say we'll be on the same continent as y'all)...going to spend a couple of weeks with friends in Lourmarin, France.

I'm thinkin' I'll take the camera...

:hi:

[Eurobabe]

12. Oh, when you coming, road trip!

:D

[Adsos Letter]

14. Not final yet, but looks like around the end of August.

Our friends there are going on their own vacation, so we will have the use of their place. It is dependent on what dates they finally choose. :D

[JCMach1]

10. Coming soon- Will land in Frankfurt 19 June

[MissHoneychurch]

13. I would love to greet you in Frankfurt

and have a drink with you. Will youy stay in Frankfurt for a day or two?

[JCMach1]

16. 2 days and then 6 days in a small village (on a farm)

close to Rothenberg.

So yes, that might be fun. My better part, CLYRC, is also a DUer (although not a heavy poster)... she is a heavy lurker however...

[Maestro]

18. Very nice

I think I will pop open a beer sometime this weekend and look at this pic. :)
