Christine at a Volksmarch

It has been a while since I updated.  Sorry.  I was back in the States for training and a visit the last 2 weeks of March.  Sometimes life keeps you from keeping up.

Germans love to participate in a Volksmarch.  Different towns hold one each year.  I believe each town keeps its "week" every year.  I participated in the Lauterach Volksmarch.  The town was approximately an hour drive outside of Stuttgart.  This was actually way back on 10 March 2012.  I completed the 6 kilometer walk.  Sometimes you just take the shorter path (mostly because the person you are walking with does not want to go the longer way and she drove--ha ha).  Volksmarching is a good way to see more of the country.  You can walk the short walk or take a longer one.  I think the longer one here was 11 kilometers.  Volksmarching does tend to skew to a bit *older* crowd.  In that most of the participants seemed to be around 60 or 70 years old.  I'm glad I could bring down the median age a bit.  ha ha

Germany has not yet turned green--especially not in early March, which I would consider winter.  Some of the views from the walk:

A natural tunnel

What I think of when I think of Germany, well with way more green. 

Eating-what everyone does after the Volksmarch.

Enjoy,
Christine
