More fun in Garmisch

Garmisch-Partenkirken is such a nice place to go. It is on the northern side of the Alps near the Austrian border. There is a lot of skiing in the winter and in the summer lots of people go vacation there for rafting, kayaking, biking, camping, and lots and lots of hiking. This time we went back to the gorge, it still had raging water in it, and we went to the Eibsee (Eib Lake). It is a private lake so we had to pay to get in. We decided to rent a pedal boat, which was lots of fun. It was hilarious watching Mia trying to pedal. We did jump into the lake though it was freezing because it is glaciar run-off. As soon as I jumped in, Murry did too. I think he was really surprised how cold it was.

Hiking in the Partnach Gorge. A lot of the path is cave-like cut into the side of the gorge so you walk behind waterfalls.


Typical hiking-Mom carrying a pack, Mia, and holding the leash. Mia and Murry both want to be with me always. Gaby is actually right behind me too. I'm just so popular :)


At the top of the gorge it opens up and the river is not quite so fast. It's a pretty color green and COLD.
