In the small village of Todtnau, Germany.....

....where there is this giant mountain slide over 1.8 miles long.  There is also this unique church.

We thought of our good neighbor, Sis. Jones....

....when we saw this as she always puts out a big Christmas village during the holiday season.  We wish we could bring it back with us, but our suitcases will be stuffed as it is.

In one of the Cukcoo clock stores....

.....you find lots of carvings including all types of European houses.

Here kids are strapped to bungee cords....

.....and jump on a trampoline as high as then can.

Lake Titisee, Germany and lots of things to do....

....they have some rides as well as boats to take out on the lake.

In Titisee, Germany......

.....eating my $5.00 lunch and enjoying it.

This is the Chateau de la Batiaz.....

.....it is more of a fortress than a castle, protecting the highway into the town.  It was built in the first half of the 13 century and occupied a strategic location above the town.
