I have the best job in the world, I make dreams come true! At the end of the day my husband will ask how my day went, I get to reply with things like, “I was in Alaska this morning, Rome and St. Lucia this afternoon, and ended with a cruise". What...

Schonach Ski Jump

After our Ama Waterways cruise, our Foreign Exchange Son picked us up in Basil Switzerland and took us through the Black Forest.


We saw Frieburg, where he attended college.  A great town for shopping and a park to hike in right in the middle of town.  Great view from the top, well worth the hike.


We had pigs knuckle and potato dumplings, very good choice, heard a pipe organ concert at a beautiful church with amazing stained glass windows.  


We stayed at the Mercure Hotel Panorama Frieburg.  Great view from the top of the mountain and great hiking right out the door.  


We climbed the 310 stairs to the top of Schonach's World Cup Ski jump.  Would love to be there when this was going on.  Amazing how long and light the skis are compared to what we ski on.  The view was well worth the climb.


Saw a church that had more gold in it than I could imagine.  It was beautiful on the inside but very ordinary on the outside.  I wasn't expecting much when we stopped, boy was I surprised when we went inside.


Had to stop and take pictures of my Retired Fire Chief husband at the Fire Stations called Pumpier stations.


Toured the Worlds Largest Cuckoo Clock in Triberg, Germany.  It is a house in itself.  Took 5 years to build and was completed in 1994.  It is 15 feet tall and weighs 6 tons.  It is beautiful and we enjoyed listening to it.  


We took the Train from Stuttgart to Munich.


A great ending to a wonderful trip.
