Just one reason why we love living in the Black Forest...

A couple of weekends ago (August 10-12) we had some friends from the Berlin area come visit us. Karl knew Andreas when he was a missionary in Berlin and he and his wonderful wife, Jeanine, came to visit us for the weekend. It's nice to have some friends who were once so far away, suddenly so much closer!



We had a wonderful time hanging out with them all weekend, but our favorite was taking them to one our new favorite things to do around here.

Some American friends of ours told us about this wonderful restaurant in the Black Forest. We drive through the forest a bit and then park at a certain place. Then we walk on a forest path alongside a forest stream surrounded by rounded, moss-covered rocks and tall green trees.







Eventully, we pass by a waterfull and then, a short time later, a biergarten comes into view. You can either keep going down the path, or stop and have some yummy German food (which is what we always do)!



As we eat we enjoy the view of the trees and the field of cows that opens up in front of the biergarten.



After eating, we head back down the beautiful path.
