Schwarzwald

Last Thursday, Tom and I ventured into Germany and went to the Black Forest (Schwarzwald in German). It was fun. We saw waterfalls, beautiful landscapes, a mountain-side full of sheep, and the biggest cuckoo clock in the world! We also enjoyed some black forest cake (apparently the Black Forest is also known for their cherries) and listening to pipe organ music in a beautiful cathedral.This is our very Alpine looking cottage. The slated ceiling made for an interesting layout inside.This was at the longest waterfall in Germany. The whole area reminded us of North Georgia - and this of Amicalola Falls.The Worlds Largest Cuckoo Clock!! I know you're as awed as we were :)

This is the cathedral where we heard the beautiful music - the picture doesn't do it justice!
The hillside of sheep! I thought this was so neat. We stopped and listened to them "talk" for about 10 minutes. There were hundreds of them!

Looks like y'all are having a pretty good time over there :-)
I miss you! We should set a time to talk on GoogleTalk sometime.
