Friends and family, fellow travel junkies and gourmands……Welcome to our travel blog!

Jason and I just arrived in Fussen, a town in Southern Bavaria, after spending 4 days in lovely Munich. It’s hard to believe we’re finally on this much anticipated trip, but I think it’s beginning to set in.

Munich, or Munchen as it’s called here, is an absolutely stunning city – very clean, friendly, charming, vibrant and abounding with history. It would definitely be a very easy place to call home. Every type of meal we’ve had so far – whether German, Italian, Indian, or Japanese - has been unbelievably delicious. And, of course, it has been our duty (and pleasure) to sample all the many beers that Bavaria has to offer. We just learned that 1/6th of the world’s breweries are actually located in Bavaria!

Surprisingly enough, everyone in Munich is extremely fit and healthy. I guess Jason and I half expected to see large German folk dressed in lederhosen drinking beer and stuffing their faces with schnitzel. We couldn’t have been more wrong – people are outdoors at every given opportunity and seem to walk everywhere…..quite a concept!

So that leads us to Fussen……we got behind the wheel and made our way south this afternoon. We plan to spend the next few days visiting the castles and medieval villages in the area before heading to Ischgl, Austria for a week of skiing. I think we’re looking forward to the drive as much as we are to skiing – the Bavarian Alps and Tyrols should be stunning! We’ll be sure to update the blog and post more pictures in the next few days…..oh, and more on Fussen later…..what a great little town!
