Road Trip: Days 1 - 3 Bavaria

We started our road trip in Bavaria, staying on the same farm we were at the week before Christmas. We had plans to take a cable car to the top of a mountian and to ride the Luge, but the weather did not cooperate.
Instead, we visited a few towns including Oberammergau. Oberammergau hosts the Passion Play, telling the story of Jesus. They have performed the play every ten years since the 1600's. We were in Oberammergau the day before the play opened and were surprised at the number of visitors. It is a small village and we were not even allowed to drive into town, but were directed to a parking lot and had to take a bus into town. By the time we left, there was a line of cars a half mile long to get into town.
We went back to a local German restuarant we had eaten at in December. It made me so happy that Colin choose the schnitzel and spatzle over the chicken nuggets and fries! Even though our trip to Bavaria was low key, if was worth the trip to find some of our toys under the couch we had left there in December!
