Mom, Dad, the Lloyds, and I all went sightseeing today. The first place we went was a quaint little village. We had breakfast at a cute little bakery. I had a round pastry with cream cheese and strawberry jam inside. it tasted like a very upscale jelly donut :). Mom had a cheese and fruit filled stick. The pastry dough was cripsy, flaky, sweet, and delicious. Dad had yet another pretel. (He says he just gets them because he doesn't like sweet things, but we all know the truth. Tonight he "helped" me finish off three.) We walked around and saw the most beautiful little church. The ceiling was covered in decorative arches in different colors. There was a neat little hanging place that dad says a pastor can preach from. They also had a gorgeaus blue organ that was covered in decorations. After that we went to Rapunzel's tower. We saw a tall tower windows at the top and no where else. We walked all the way around before we found a door. We started to wonder, haha. We got to climb all the way to the top and saw the entire town and surrounding fields, it was breathtaking.
We went to a little town that had a very big monestary in it. We took an audio tour and walked all around it and saw the different things. It was very old and very interesting. The Lloyds went paddle boating and we took a walk. We stopped at a different bakery and got a piece of cherry cheesecake. Mom had been looking at cheesecake in every bakery we've gone too. :).
For dinner we walked down a Hansel and Gretel trail to a little restaurant situated in the woods. It was about two miles away from where we are staying. The trail was like a bike path through the woods. The food was very German. Sausages, meatfilled noodles, bread and pretzels seem to be staples at every german meal :). We finally got to try authentic struedel. I really enjoyed the apple. It was like cheescake surrounding the apples that you'd find in crisp or pie, topped with sugar and almonds.
On the way back I ran back and forth on the paths. I hadn't gotten in my run that day so i took advange of the paths. I would run until I came to a fork in the path and then I would run back to the group and get directions, and i'd do that again.
Tomorrow we're going to go to church with the Lloyds and visit a castle. I can hardly wait. ( We'll probably make a visit to a bakery on our way :).)

Reading about all those pastries makes my mouth water! I wish I was tasting them with you.
