This past week we spent the week at the Frankfurt Temple with the members from our mission. It was an honor and a delight to be at the temple with such sweet faithful people. On our way to Frankfurt Germany, (which takes about 8 hours by car and 12 hours by bus to get there) we did some sight seeing on our way as we traveled through Austria and Germany. I must say, these countries are Beautiful! I loved everything we ate and saw.
We first visited a village named Hallstatt. Hallstatt is known for it's production of salt, dating back to prehistoric times. We rode a ferry out to this colorful little village on a lake and walked around and had lunch. It was delight and worth the trip. I really love Austria, it is a very beautiful clean country, with the most majestic scenery I have every seen.
This is a Pear Tree pruned and tied to grow on the wall of this house. It is a ancient practiced called "Espalier" and I loved it! I saw many other trees and plants also growing up the walls of buildings in Austria. I think I need one of these some day.
I loved the entrance to this Church!
Each grave was planted with lovely flowers!
We next drove to Regensburg Germany, which is a city in Bavaria Germany on the Danube and Regen rivers. This ancient city dates back to the Stone Age.
