Taking in the Countryside

This week we have faithfully taken at least one 50-60 minute walk every day and if we walk in the morning, we also take another one in the afternoon.  It isn't just for the conversation - which cover topics from Arabic uprisings in North Africa (Tunisia and Egypt) to the type of car we will purchase when we return home (Ford Escape hybrid beats Audi Q5 for gas mileage and price but not style!) - but also for the views throughout the countryside.  Here are a few reminders of what we see everyday.

The Chiemsee - note the snow on the shores and the Alps in the background.
