Another fabulous day of vacation with the family (and Matt!) here in Garmisch, Germany! This morning’s adventure: a rematch with the mountain that dominated me on our first day of skiing. 😉

037

Check out how crazy foggy and snowy it was!

028

But, despite the foggy/snowy/super cold weather — today was a success! We started at the same slope that we started on on our first day of skiing, and I thought it was a different one because it seemed so much easier! I must be getting better 🙂

027

036

029

I did take the gondola down the mountain at the end of the day, though, ha. Still not quite ready to tackle the lower mountain scariness again! Maybe the last day we’re here… the gondola was fun, anyway.

My foggy view:

030

(For those of you that were wondering — I’ve just been stuffing my point and shoot camera in my pocket when we go skiing!)

Look what was awaiting us at the bottom of the mountain!   038

Oh, yes. When in Germany, eat sausage bigger than your arm. 040

My brother chowing down while we waited for Matt (he’s a better skier and was up exploring the higher mountain slopes!):

039

I love all the outdoor sausage, hot spiced wine, beer, and hot chocolate stands they have in Europe. So fun!

043

042

After our skiing adventures, Matt, my brother, and I headed back to the hotel to shower, pick up my mom, and head into town for a late lunch (soup and salad for me — I had the sausage snack an hour and a half before but skiing makes me HUNGRY!)! Check out the name of the place where we had lunch — heh. Awkwardddd

001

Unfortunately my Dad caught a cold and was down for the count today, boo! 🙁 We’re hoping he’s feeling better tomorrow.

We hadn’t actually been to downtown Garmisch itself during the day yet (just for dinner) since we’ve been so busy skiing, castle touring, and hiking, so it was fun to wander around after lunch. Garmisch is super cute 🙂

023

002 003

The buildings here have so much character!

004 005 006020009

010

Look, another hot wine/beer stand!

021

Random pig statue? Apparently people rub his nose and ears for good luck 🙂

024

Matt had to leave this evening, sniff sniff. He starts work tomorrow a few hours away! I’m so glad he was able to join us. I was sad to see him go, especially since he won’t be back in the U.S. until the end of January 🙁

025

I’m off to bed — we had a busy day and I’m pooped! Nighty night, friends 🙂 Tomorrow my German friend Melli is coming to visit — there’s talk of snowshoeing! I’m excited — I love active vacations.

    Looks like so much fun and something I might try myself if I were a bit younger. Tell your Dad to take Zicam cold remedy in the oral mist form. It will flat knock it out. Your cold will not be as severe and will not last as long. It is over the counter. Anne, I have really enjoyed your vacation. It feels like we are there with you. Enjoy

    Oh my gosh that sausage is hilarious!! The town looks so adorable- I've only skied in the US, but the mountain towns in Europe look so much more charming. Hope you enjoy the rest of your day!!

    Those are awesome pictures. I love skiing in Europe vs the United States. For one, it's still cheaper .... it's getting ridiculous in New England. A day pass to Killington I think is getting close to $80 per person. I went skiing with my family in Italy at the Sellaronda back in 2003 (I think?) and it was so much fun. i love those huge sausages and I love that they literally build a bar in the middle of the mountain where you can pull up to it with your skis still on and get a Schnapps before you continue down the mountain. Great times! Some of my best memories of my childhood are skiing with the family.
