As we wind down this once-in-a-lifetime trip-of-a-lifetime, we journeyed once more into the Black Forest near the Rhine. The gps and Google Maps (with the little blue dot following our location) allowed us to navigate back roads through the hills from village to village. The names of the villages are themselves interesting: Shopfheim, Hausen im Wiesental, Zell im Wiesental, Frohnd, Bollen, Burchau, Kleines Wiesental, Maulburg, Steinen. Some views:
A mid afternoon coffee stop at a bakery
in Kleines Wiesental.
A sign in the bakery that says
"Today's Offer
2
Chocolate-
croissants
only 2.20"
The young ladies that waited on us.
The "Day's offer" + 2 coffees (6.00 Euro).
Back at the apartment in Schworstadt.
We had done laundry in the morning.
The Europeans use washing machines but
choose to air dry their clothes on racks like these.
Perhaps an energy saving measure.
The recycling laws in Europe are quite strict.
We had instructions at each of our accomodations
on recycling procedures. There are separate containers
for each type of waste (paper, plastic, metal, organic).
