27 July 22: For dinner Wednesday night, Dave got us reservations at a Bavarian restaurant on the Marienplatz — Gasthaus zur Schranne — where we enjoyed good food and good beer. Dave had the chance to talk in German to the young family next to us and they had a great time!

The boys discovered “Dunkel Weißbier” and learned what a real beer can taste like.

Garmisch truly looks like a fairy tale town with the gorgeous chalets with their flower boxes in full bloom this time of year.

On Thursday we plan to take it easy with a local hike in the afternoon if the weather cooperates.
