One of the very popular things to do on Sunday afternoons in Germany is to enjoy the outdoors by going for a long walk on the nearby forest trails. It seems like most of the townspeople are out, and often you will hear the traditional regional greeting, “Grüss Gott” (Greetings in God's name), as you pass someone. On one of these walks several weeks ago, we discovered a fortress castle ruins about 3 km away from where we live. It is high up on a hill that overlooks a valley with small villages scattered all around. If you’re brave enough to make the steep climb inside the ancient castle tower on a clear day, you will be treated to a breathtaking view of the Swiss Alps!Saturday, March 8, 2008

Hey sister and bro-in-law!
I am looking at your blog for the first time (along with Mark and Lisa's and Kendall's, Tyler's and Courtney's blogs) I am really feeling technical tonight. Don't expect me to have a blog of my own anytime soon however.... I still don't get the "choose an identity" thing so I keep picking "anonymous".
It's fun to read your blog. We are thinking of you and praying for you during language school.
