We departed from Nuremberg on April 10 and headed even further south to a place called Quirn, which is a little community made up of 10 people and with significant others it is 13 people. Annie met us at the train station and we were so excited to meet her. Finally we met a nice family that we could stay with and feel like we found our place. The weather may not have been nice but the company has been warm, friendly and a lot of laughter. In the family there is Annie (mom), Ernst (dad), Opa, Hubert (28 years old), Anna-Marie (25 years old), Stefan (23 years old) and little Michael (15 years old) and we feel right at home! We have even taught Michael to make friendship bracelets :) Yesterday we went into Berchtsgaden and toured the Salt Mine which was an amazing tour. We then decided to hike up the steepest mountain you could possibly find but we made it to the top in 1 hour!! Patrick and I ventured throught the Dokumentation of Hitler which was moving, shocking and sad to see. It was all in German so we had an Audio Guide tour but still the pictures did most of the explaining. After we had to wait 1 hour for the bus so we decided to hike down, we just keep putting ourselves through misery lol. The walk down was much easier than the hike up. Tam had a little melt down on the way down and found every word there was in the book. She was tired of grumpy people, the miserable weather and hiking up and down an insane mountain and all Patrick could do was laugh at her. He couldn't take her seriously because of her huge grin on her face!! LOL. Before we headed back to Traunstein we bought some groceries and a wobbly pop to reward ourselves from the hard day of work. We had to wait 1 hour for the train so we ate some pistachios and had some good laughs where Tam was even in tears! What an amazing day!!
Love
