John in Germany #4

After a few fun days in Heidelberg John, Dad and I have made our way to Bavaria. Today we passed Fussen and had a short stop at Nueshweinstein to let john check out the castle that was shrouded in mist and barely visible but visible nevertheless. After walking around town and checking out the various shops we got back in the car and kept driving to Garmisch. Just before the Austrian border we had to check out a part of the river that looked like it held some fly fishing. My dad and I told John how hard it is to get a fishing license in Germany and right then and there an English speaking fly fisherman from Munich walked up to the car telling how good it was. He later told is that it was very expensive to take the class to get a Germany fishing license. When we arrived in Garmsich-Partnekirchen my dad had already set up a reservation at Haus Maier, a nice guest haus right at the entrance to the Partenkirchnerold city A perfect location with great food just around the corner, the train stationa 20 mminutewalk, and a bike rental place across the street. After a short nap and a shower we headed in to town to find something to eat ultimately settling on my favorite restaurant in Bavaria and maybe Germany whose name escapes me right now. During are time at the restaurant a Partenkirnher meeting was going on so John got the chance to admire all the traditional Bavarian wear as it went past us for the first 45 minutes of our stay before our food arrived. Once the food arrived at the table the conversation changed from sentences to quick statements because both our hands and mouths where full (soon to be our stomachs). I had my usualat this restaurant and had the JJagger Schnitzelel while my dad had a Haxen which is basicly a pic leg bone a all, and John had some meal with pork in it but that doesn't narrow it down much. After eating my meal I helped out my dad with his a little before calling my self full. After a great meal (as always) we made our way to the ski stadium to walk off some of the food. The stadium was open so we checked it out before heading back to Hause Maier and enjoying a good nights sleep. 

Checking out some shirts
