We arrived Friday afternoon in Southern Germany after a long trip from the USA. We actually took the ferry across from Konstanz to Meersburg this time and we all enjoyed that experience despite the cool temps. We napped during the afternoon, had a good meal in the evening and called it night soon after. Below are a few images of our adventures in Germany so far.
After breakfast on Saturday we went to see the basilica in Weingarten, Germany
Georgia lit a candle for a friend back home
The interior of the basilica
Stunning artwork on the ceiling

The St. Martin fountain in Weingarten
We had lunch at the Cafe Central in Ravensburg
An interesting way to support a building up higher while working on the ground floor
While shopping in Ravensburg we ran into Siggi, Moritz, Lena and Stefan
We had dinner in the Alte Muehle in Waldbeuren and the owner showed how to take the bone out of a trout and made us aware that trout cheeks are a delicacy
Amy and I had vanilla ice cream with hot raspberries for desert
After breakfast on Sunday we all went to the Affenberg in Salem, Germany to see the Barbary Macaques and a ton of storks. Plus the old buildings are quite cool too.
Feeding time for the storks
The storks looked quite content after the meal
Georgia made a new friend in Salem at the Affenberg
This Barbary macaque got the last piece of Amy's popcorn
My mom has never been here before despite living quite close
At the end of the monkey tour
Strolling over calm water
Somehow Georgia had a hard time escaping from the monkey enclosure
We all ate lunch inside this building

One small element of the Salem castle
When the old abbey burned down around 1690 it was quickly replaced, but this time with fire fighting stuff planned in. Thus you can find now a fire fighting museum there.
Another interesting old school fire engine

That is where mustard comes from
