Day Four - A Walk in the Woods to Collect Mushrooms
|
We went over to the adorable summer cottage where Gerd and Sigrid live (they are Tabea's maternal grandparents) and had an extremely filling "tea-time", complete with jello cakes and chocolate-coated gingerbread cookies, then went for a refreshing hike through the woods to collect mushrooms for dinner. While wandering through the woods, we came upon a big hole in the ground. It is a ventilation shaft for one of the silver mines which fill the mountains around here. |
To keep curious people from exploring too closely and possibly falling into the hold and discovering a new vein of silver, there are fences surrounding the hole -- so we stood just outside the fence while Gert told us stories about the mines. He is quite the storyteller! |

This is one of those mushrooms that you are not supposed to eat. They will give you a nasty tummy-ache. |
We had a lovely walk through the woods. Cheryl especially enjoyed being back among the trees, reminiscent of our old home in Washington. Tomorrow is graduation! |
