Fussen

Along the Deutsch Romantic Road

hearing stories about his adventures

visiting Martin's relatives graves

seeing where he lived after his parent's escaped from East Germany

and visiting schools he attended

 

Zugspitze

Top of Germany

Suddenly

everything

became

clear

Martin's friend from high school -

For the cog wheel train ride followed by sleding, a gondola ride,
lunch on the lake

and paddle boat races 

across the Eibsee
