germany day 8

day 8.....

this was the day that i spent the most time taking photos of caesar.

it was just kind of a family day, hanging around, visiting, all that good stuff.

i do have some photos of places around oberammergau.

so here you go:

this is the house across the street from where we were staying. if the clouds weren't so low, you could see the view we would have had.

o'gau is in the valley, so there are mountains all around.

i'd say a very small valley. its quite cozy, or claustrophobic, depending on how you view things.

this is a random house that i snapped a photo of....i just liked it.

this is a mural that i liked. i actually thought that my dad would really like it, so i took the picture for him. (hey dad! you like it? its pretty sweet, huh?) o'gau is the city of murals, just like whitehall....crazy!

these ducks were just chilling by the water when we went on our walk. and since i was taking photos of caeser, i had my camera out and ready.

and i caught them as they took off...

and as they flew away....

and as they landed.....what you don't see is that as soon as i focused on the ducks, caeser did too and chased them into the water. he would have probably jumped all the way in if hans and i hadn't been yelling at him. later, we found out that it would have been no big deal if he got all wet (he was wet from the snow anyways) but i didn't want to have to explain why the dog went swimming when he was back with us during the walk.

this could be my favorite thing in o'gau. except oma, of course. this is the o'gau castle. i'm told that someone built it just because they liked castles and that it isn't all that old, like the rest of the castles in europe. but i like to think that it is old and that it was a castle for the royal family of o'gau and that there was a beautiful o'gau princess who lived there. and then my story goes all over the place, from the princess being held captive or being free or being hidden in o'gau for all sorts of reasons but it all pretty much ends with her falling in love with a very handsome man, who, oddly enough, looks just like hans. *sigh* the end.
