Sorry, I guess it only counts as a feast or famine if I actually get everything up to date. I am working on it. So this was our third Sunday here and it was such a beautiful day that we couldn't resist a walk. From our other pictures you have probably noticed that we live up on a hill from the main part of town. There are quite a few houses to our south and on the other side of the houses are a few smaller roads. We decided it would be fun to at least walk this direction and see where they went. So these are the pictures from our walk.
Whenever we go walking Elise looks for curbs she can walk on. For some reason she really likes to walk on raised up parts. Maybe she will be a tight rope walker :).
The view South, just past the houses.
South and a little west of the houses.
Elise found a "spot" to sit, surprise, surprise. I think she would have sat there all day if we would have let her. She was having so much fun picking up every rock she could see. And since it was the edge of the road and there was pea gravel on it she could have sat there for a long time.
So Spencer told me that most European houses aren't very big but we have seen a lot here that are bigger than he expected and a couple like this one that are exceptionally large even for American standards.
When we finally go Elise to leave her spot this is headed up the hill to the South East.
Part way up the previous road looking East.
At the top of the pine trees the road heads South and a little East. How long do you think Elise would walk before she was done? FOREVER!
From previous road looking at Gaisbeuren.
Looking to the East at small towns over the hill. I don't know if you ca tell but the white spot that sticks out in the middle of the picture is a church in a town over the hill that sits on top of a hill so it is more easily seen.
Picture of the pines we passed at the beginning of our walk. Like many of the stands of trees we have seen, they are very neatly tended and appear to be thoughtfully cut so that they still have a pretty stand of trees. The swath here is where they just cut a row of trees out for lumber.
Notice how the trees are in nice straight rows. It is probably more obvious when you see this in person but they are very straight rows. Not all the stands of trees we have seen are as straight as this one but most are pretty well in rows.
A cute little bench area by the stand of trees so you can enjoy the view West, of the town below.
