We visited Schloss Linderhoff castle, near Oberammergau. - Mon 15 Dec 2003 02:28:19 PM A house near the castle. - Mon 15 Dec 2003 02:29:03 PM Joel in the freezing cold, with snow blowing all around! - Mon 15 Dec 2003 02:30:14 PM One of my favorite things about the Christmas decorations in Germany was the fact they were everywhere. Even this bird house (see the little bird flying off to the left?) had been decorated. - Mon 15 Dec 2003 03:07:11 PM Janis in the snow in front of the hotel & store near the castle. - Mon 15 Dec 2003 03:13:30 PM Another traditional Bavarian home near the castle. - Mon 15 Dec 2003 03:07:55 PM The grounds around the castle were just beautiful! - Mon 15 Dec 2003 02:30:52 PM Leah & her mom, trying to stay warm as we walk to the castle. - Mon 15 Dec 2003 02:31:25 PM The exterior of the castle was being restored during our visit.

About the most beautiful place imaginable to get your rental car stuck in a snowy ditch! - Mon 15 Dec 2003 03:09:31 PM The countryside between Schloss Linderhoff & Oberammergau.
