On Sunday, my friend Hart and his friend Vanessa invited me to wander along the Isar River with them in Garmisch-Partenkirchen near Germany's southern border. The water of the Isar is bright turquoise due to the minerals in the area and the surrounding landscape is a mix of sand, rocks, low shrubs and forest. The river was higher than usual due to the recent flooding, but surprisingly not completely overflowing. (It was actually dry in some places.) Overall it was a gorgeous day for wandering through the park and cooling off in the river. After a few hours, we drove to Vanessa's mother's house, where we were served
elderberry (
Holunder) pancakes and blueberry cheesecake. Yum! Afterwards, I took the train back to Stuttgart, arrived around midnight, and got some sleep before Monday morning. What a great way to spend a Sunday!
