Happy 4th of July!

The next day was July 4th. No fireworks, no cookouts,no Americanism here. Hope everyone had a fun and safe holiday back home.

We spent the morning on top of a mountain.The Zugspitze is the highest point in Germany, towering at 2962m. We took a cable car to the peek, a 15 min ride. Cold! Very cold! Temp dropped about 40 degrees at the peak. The views on the way up are fantastic, but the very top was covered by clouds. You can walk out on to a glacier from the summit. Many crazy people were actually hiking from the base, a 2 day hike supposedly. We were going to, but due to time issues decided to just take the cable car(haha). We took some pictures, bought some postcards and headed back to the hotel.

We packed and headed by train to Munich.
