Ok so we know that this post is wayyyyyy over due but after our adventures in Amsterdam we decided that we had to take my parents to experience the wonderful Garmisch, Germany. And again it was amazing but with better weather this time. We took my parents towards to mountain side and decided to take advantage of the lifts this time. During our walk to the lifts however I (wifey) spotted paragliding and just had to partake in the adventure. Now paragliding is much like skydiving except you basically just jump off of a mountain thousands of miles up. It was an experience that will never be forgotten. The mountains of Garmisch, Germany were just beautiful and words really cannot describe the feeling of paragliding in another country. It was one of those surreal moments during our trip. The paragliding also lasted a good 45 minutes which was much better than the couple of minutes you get from skydiving. That night we took my parents back to the restaurant that we fell in love with the first go-around. And although my mother is super picky with her food she thoroughly enjoyed her turkey cordon bleu and Bobby and I indulged in the Jager Schnitzel that took our breaths away. This time it was grilled and even better. On our way back to the hotel we took a taxi and had a very good laugh at Bobby's expense. To make a long story short the cab driver had a ring tone that wistled "TAXI TAXI" and it rang while we were in the car. The ring tone sounded so real that Bobby was looking around for the woman who was yelling taxi. The German taxi guy laughed so hard it took him a minute to come around to telling bobby that it was his ring tone and we literally all laughed the entire way to the hotel. It was a memorable experience to say the least.
Our time in Garmisch was short but well worth the journey and then we were headed back to Stuttgart. Three trains later we were back in our hub. We spent the rest of the days enjoying a wonderful german/puerto rican/american barbeque to celebrate the fourth of July. Some of the neighbors were wishing us a good forth of July for our country and it was nice to see that they had recognized our holiday. Once the partying was over we spent the next couple of days figuring out how we were going to send everything home. We wounded up buying another suitcase to fit all of our extra belongings and gifts that we bought along the way. It was bittersweet to pack our things but we were both ready to get back home and get back to real world (our real world anyways). We bid farewell to our wonderful friends who took us in and let us use their home as our hub (the Rosarios- THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH) and we made our 24 hour trip back home (connections and all).
