A favorite lunch spot

At the Bischofshof

Regensburg--one of the oldest cities in Germany

This hat store has been here in Regensburg at least since the late 1940s, according to Dan's aunt Therese, who worked in Regensburg at that time.

Berchtesgaden

To translate: Death is certain--uncertain is the hour.  Lots of sadness in this area--a block away is a building mural to the "sons of the strong people of Berchtesgaden" who gave their lives in a number of wars--the most recent being WW2.  Hitler's Eagle's Nest is nearby.

 

Konigsee--a very long lake with very clear water, at the base of the mountains.

This is a cake!

You can see the people and the buildings around the square reflected in the window.

As long as I'm on this theme--here were some of the offerings in one of the fancier lunch spots (we didn't eat there--just feasted with the eyes!)

Tuesday Oct 18 Salzburg, Austria--Dinner Concert (Mozart highlights)

Just outside our dinner/concert location.  This was a short walk from our hotel.

Inside the dinner location--no flash.A mostly candle-lit room.  Notice the ceiling. How does one capture the magnificence of these old buildings in Europe?

Prien and Chiemsee in southern Germany

An evening shot--looking across the lake you can make out the outline of the mountains. This was Monday evening. We stayed near the Chiemsee--a beautiful lake region that has an island with another one of Mad Ludwig's castles.
