It is an incredible little town. Somewhere, I have alot of negatives, I took. Much like that pic that Mike posted.
BTW lk.. I did check out that site you put up. Fantastic scenery. I`m also in the process of jump starting my German. Better get that dog of yours and you up to speed.  There is a German restaurant in this small town. Figure I can go in there and humiliate myself with my mastery of the German language. Hope they are a patient lot.

I sure do miss Germany at times! Sping is so beautiful there, it is unbelievable how much color jumps out of the grey post-winter season.
I also have a thing for Northern Italy but that is another story.

Yep! Always need to remember the most important part of a language lk. I'm going to have to try everything on the menu. BTW. I was in Vegas a couple weeks ago. The day I was leaving, I came across the Hofbräuhaus. A replica of the one in Munich. Next trip, definately going to be in there.

Well yeah TR. It hasn't had the 400 plus years of 'break in'. I helped with that in Munich. Need to start the process in the one in Vegas.
I'll let you know the next time I head up to Vegas lk. Last trip I met my daughter who had come in from Denver with some friends for a long weekend. However, they had plans to do some clubbing or whatever with friends at night. They didn't need dad tagging along. So, I just partied with the Spring Break folks.
That is a beautiful route Mike. I went to language school in Oberammergau. Fashing was a fun time. Can't remember. Is that the one, that at the end, one is supposed to wash out thier wallet in the Isar, cause they aren't supposed to have any money left?

It sure is ! I love riding up there. Nice and cool, even in summertime. NATO school is still up in Oberammergau. They do some language training in Garmisch as well. Friend of mine is a arabic Gulf, she was here from Ft. Hood for a language class not so long ago.
They still do the wallet washing stuff ! Too funny, when the Isar river is covered with ice and snow...

from Joe Hannon
I sent my friend Joe Hannon those pics you all posted and this was his reply...
Mike,
Most of the time I was on that street it was going to-coming from a couple
favoriate bars and I was blind with excitement or blind ass drunk!<g>
There's a bridge down further (behind you in the fasching picture) over the
Isar (Danube) and they have BIG brown trout in there that you can feed
brochen's too. Further up the hill, around the bend and on the right side
(towards Flint Kaserne) is the Polizie station.
The reason I know this particularly, is when you get drunk and you and your
pal decide your hungry and want "trout" to eat and you take one of those
old issued military net thingees that no one ever used and feed the fishies
some brouchen and then scoop up a bunch with that net . . . you go to the
Polizie jail and spend the night sleeping on a cement, cold assed bed. Then
next morning you attend a class and they tell you all about their
conservation laws n' shit and then someone from HQ's comes and gets you and
your on shit-detail and Kaserne arrest for about a month!<g>
Ah . . . the good ole' days where not much was "critical" but everything
good and fun was discouraged!

Ah Ha! SHOT 2008, in Vegas, Hofbräuhaus has gotta be better than the Thai place and Howl at the Moon. Time to get the Deutsche mehr besser, klar?

Gentlemen, I´m glad the photo brings back some good memories for you. Spring is moving in slowly. I took the motorcycle for a spin from Tölz to Oberammergau and back via Garmisch on Sunday.
I´d be happy to take my camera along next time and take some photos for you.
Mike
P.S. Here is a photo from Fasching on Marktstrasse in Tölz. A good time of the year for us, we collected well over 60 drivers licenses for DUI/DWI this year...

Ah, I live in Vegas. The Hofbrauhaus is a wonderful place. I was unsure of how authentic it was, but perhaps more than I thought?
