Bayernwald

Yesterday on our drive to Regen, we enjoyed a lot of picturesque views. There was farmland, with houses that were typically built in an 'L' or 'T' shape--the barn was typically attached to the house, just on a different axis. Some of them are even in a U or square--but these were the wealthier families, and apparently, it was all for protection. Just a few minutes later, you would be in the dark Bavarian forest, but not to worry, it was soon going to be a bit of prairie. And before you knew it, we would go up several feet as we climbed the mountains.

It changed with such regularity that it was like looking through a view master--those 3d things we played with as kids.
