| December 29th, we get up and it's SNOWING in Nurnburg! But it's time to get on the road, heading south. This day was a repositioning day, as we moved ourselves down to the German/Austrian border. |
 |
| As we were driving south, we saw a sign for the city of Ingolstadt. The city name sounded familiar to me, so we googled it and it's the home and headquarters of Audi! |
 |
| We hoped to get a factory tour, or at least see the visitor's center, but, alas, closed for the weeks around the holidays. Bummer |
 |
| As we headed south into the German Alps, we were skirting around Munich, when we decided to go into town. I directed us right to the famed Marienplatz! |
 |
| The highlight of the day was lunch at the Rathskeller underneath the main Rathaus. |
 |
| I ordered the Nurnberger Wurst, which turns out to be the same as Jimmy Dean sausage in the United States. |
 |
| Onions ordered the Schweinshaxe, which is known as the "pigs knuckle" or ham hock. It's the the part of the pigs leg just above the ankle! Clearly, Onions ordered better. |
 |
| I helped out as the portion was SO LARGE! After finishing lunch, we drove south and made a quick visit to Garmisch-Partenkirchen, a famous German ski resort that hosted the 1936 Winter Olympics. |
