Triberg, DE

The World's Largest Cuckoo Clock in Schonach, DE. See me, the kids and the dog below.



Do you like Evelyn's expression? She dressed for the trip - dress, tights, and cute little shoes. They are posing in front of the pendulum.



Then we drove on to Triberg and hiked to Germay's highest waterfalls. A beautiful hike, right from the middle of town.



Alex is grumpy because he could stay and throw things in the water and build dams, and float sticks until he was 10. He didn't want to leave. But we're staying down the street so I promised I'd take him back.

Then we headed out to dinner. One of these days I'll figure out how to order German food. I made the mistake of getting the "Farmer's Plate" which the waitress said had local sausage. Ok, I'll try the regional dish, I thought. I got a wooden plate with smoked bacon, proscuitto, sausage, more sausage, ham, more ham, liverwurst, and on the side: butter. To go with the meat, I guess. This is basically what I may have loved to eat were I an outlaw living in the forest in 1350 and using my pocket knife to slice smoked bacon to eat with my butter. Yum. (not). Fortunately, I have a husband who orders a salat wherever he goes (to the dismay of the German waitresses) and a dog who really loves meat. My 11 euro plate basically went to feed Sequoia... who gave her compliments to the chef.
