Finally a picture with my mom!!! |
We hiked down the mountain pass watching all the para-gliders jump off the mountain. Pretty spectacular. Then tried feeding some cows and stopped to enjoy these great huge swings! The Germans make hikes so much fun. There were quite a few stations along this hike with things for kids/adults to check out and do.
Conveniently, there was a Volksfest going on in the Arena area, and while we were waiting for Thomasina to compete, we were able to ride a few rides and eat dinner at the Volksfest.
Pretty fun way to spend a day. Although, watching those girls compete sure made me want to climb, and made me want to get fit! I was standing next to so many of the competitors and they are much fitter in real life than they appear on TV or photos. Totally ripped. Inspired for sure.
Saturday night the rain started and it never stopped for a second all the way through Sunday night. It was okay though. We swam at the pool and headed to our favorite bakery in town for goodies, then off to climbing in a Regensburg gym on our way home. Missing the mountains already, but I do think living away from them actually enhances my appreciation for them when we return.
