I know it may come as a shock to you, but Germany does not celebrate Independence Day. So, this last 4th of July we decided to take advantage of one of our host country's outdoor activities and visited a barefoot walking path. I had never heard of anything like this, but I imagined walking through fields of grass, carrying my shoes and bag. My neighbor warned we might get dirty, but honestly I didn't really think we would. I did dress the kids in dark colors, just in case. We arrived in Bad Sobernheim, after a nice little drive through the country. Someone recommended I leave my bag in the car and take a euro for a locker for my shoes. I went ahead and followed their advice, and thank goodness I did. The first thing we walked through was like a little channel-of MUD. All the way up to my knees. We walked through, with some complaining from the kids about how it felt on their toes. Then we walked on some cobblestones. All in all, we walked over several different textures like gravel and bricks, and some things like balance beams, through a river, and finally across a rope bridge. I must say that it wasn't anything like I expected. We never did walk through fields of grass
. On a dirt path, but not the grass I expected. I guess that is the adventure of living in another country. So, who wants to join us for our next barefoot walking tour?
