Hello neglected followers!

Sorry for the lack of  posts, but I've been rather busy of late.

Here are my friends and guest family at the Hofbräuhaus!

All of us outside afterward!

Me and Tina before a trip to Oktoberfest.

Me and Alex after Oktoberfest!

Me and some other friends after yet another trip to Oktoberfest.

I've been doing a ton of biking since I came to Deutschland!  There are just so many beautiful lakes in Bavaria to bike around!  That's Staffelsee in the background.

Here is me at Forgensee!

Forgensee is colder than most lakes because it's a part of a river.  It is also one of the many lakes surrounding Neuschwanstein!  You can see it, right above my head!

On the top of the world!  We're hiking up in the Alps.

Takin' a break, after hiking.

The trees are starting to change color!  It's absolutely gorgeous up there in the Alps.

We're at the apple juice place!  We brought in two of those crates, completely filled to the brim with apples.   Over 500 kg, and we got back 365 Liters of apple juice.

This is Worthsee.  It was on a bike tour of three lakes: Ammersee, Worthsee, and Pilsensee.  (BTW, I'm not including the umlaut on the o in Worthsee)

Me and Bavaria!

Me and Ammersee in the Background!

This was a stunningly beautiful bicycle tour.  This is Walchensee, up in the Alps.  It was pretty cold, but absolutely stunning.

Me and Walchensee!  The water was crystal-clear.

This is another part of the bike tour around Walchensee.  Below me is Kochelsee, but you can't bike around it because it runs right up next to a mountain.  There is some climbing on that ledge of the mountain, though.

Another shot of some of the amazing views on the way up to the Alps.

Here is my good friend and bicycle tour guide Opa!  Behind is the Biergarten where we stopped for a rest.

The cat around the house, Bipo!  He's been coming inside lately because it's been too cold.  It freezes every night now.
