Alright, I'm back in Boeblingen and internet is back up! So I know I'm doing this blog and the next one out of order, but this trip is still fresh in my head from earlier today. So this afternoon Josh and Jack wanted to go down to Fussen (pronounced Foosen) and check things out. This town is right at the base of the Bavarian Alps. It was about a 2 hour drive down to hear but we've been anxious to see the mountains. So we got there a little after 4pm and realized the Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau castles (about 10 min away) were already closed. Kind of expected it though; almost everything in Germany is closed on Sundays. But it was nice to get out, if only for a little while, and we were able to scout out where we are going to hike tomorrow morning. It was very beautiful though, and as you can tell in the pictures, the fall colors are fading fast. So the picture above is a view from the restaurant we at in downtown Fussen. We all had the Schnitzel with Bavarian forest mushroom sauce. Pretty good. The picture below is the back side of Neuschwanstein castle from below. That's as close as we could get today but we plan on hiking up the mountain beside both castles to get some good views and pics. The weather is a little chilly but nothing uncomfortable. It'll be interesting to go back when Mom and G get because it'll probably look totally different. So all in all a nice afternoon and evening.
Corey, your Mom showed me your site when we were in the mts. with them a few weeks ago. Your photogaraphy is great, would love to take a ride down the bike path, not sure about the parachuting though--you always the Adventurer! Be sure to ask your Mom about my Christmas suggestion--you might like it!!!Take care of yourself, and remember you are my favorite man in uniform and I am praying for you. Dixie

Hey Corey! This is Joey. Somehow my Mom got this blog and forwarded it to me. I love seeing the pictures of Germany. Amber and I went to the Black Forest and Bavaria in June. They're beautiful places, huh?
