yay, more pictures... and no, these were not photoshopped.
This is the Wasserfall in the Black Forest of Germany. It was really pretty, a lot like the Pacific NW though. Our hotel was in a village that was waaay up in the mountains. They have to be very self-sufficient because the commute to other towns off the mountain is difficult and long. But it was beautiful up there, very hilly and there were tons of streams and flowers. The views were nice, too, but they had ski runs where all the trees were cut down so it looked like ugly scars on the mountains and really ruined the views. I loved all the cute little houses and they were very spread out and all had large yards, unlike the rest of Europe. This town was definently my favorite!
