In Obertsdorf

Yesterday we drove from Ulm to Oberstdorf--225 km per hour--or 140 mph--on the Autobahn, Angelika driving.  Quite exciting!  In the afternoon we went for a hike to the village along the hiking trails.

Along the way, we saw a beautiful little church, the church of Santa Barbara...

Inside it was just as lovely with little nosegays at the end of all the pews, perhaps left from an earlier wedding...

As we walked along, we came upon this bull with a bell on him, making the characteristic noise that sounds like the alps.  Some people today think that the tolling of the bell is driving the bulls crazy but it's been going on for years and I think we have to check it out on Google when we have the chance!

Dinner was at a llittle restaurant outdoors looking at the mountains in the near distance...

We enjoyed pork chops with crackle, noodles and with onions and cheese and, for dessert, a special caramlized pancake with apples, almonds and plum sauce...
