Who Says You Can't Come Back?

In our quest to introduce Sarah to the Germany we love (ie, make her like Germany), we took her on a week's trip to various parts of Germany and Austria. Part of the trip echoes the trip we made in September 2006 with DeeAnne and Paige to Bavaria and the Tirol section of Austria, just across the border from Germany and within striking distance of three of Ludwig's castles. For this part of the trip we stayed at the Alpenhotel Ernberg in Reutte, Austria, where we stayed on the DeeAnne-and-Paige trip. And I'm here to say that the hotel is even better than we found it in 2006 - most of it having been refurbished - and the food is every bit as good as we remembered. So good that Sarah and I had to roll ourselves out of the dining room each night.

So in this case the reality of the return trip is even better than the memory.

Glad all of you had a great trip. Part of your route coincides with what Janie and I took on our Oberammagau tour in 2000. We enjoyed the castles but apparently none of our hotels were equal to the Alpenhotel Ernberg in Reutte, Austria. I look forward to pictures and more accounts of your trip.

Paige wants to know if Caroline was still working there? The quiet shy ones you have to watch, what is his first interest -- the pretty waitstaff!

No, no sign of Carolina. (David looked). There were a couple other cute young girls who were very efficient. And Hermann did a lot of the table waiting himself.
