Day 4

Our fourth day was an easy day. We had signed up for Bavarian Brotzeit Tour. Just so you know, brotzeit means snack in German. The tour didn't leave until almost 10, so we slept in and enjoyed a nice breakfast. Once again it was a BEAUTIFUL day out-it was very warm for this time of year, and we really enjoyed it. Our first stop was a cheese factory where they showed us the process for making cheese. We were able to see them make cheese and we got to try some. Jamie and I have decided that we are too used to Kraft, lol. Right next door to the the cheese factory was KLOSTER Ettal...yes you read that right KLOSTER!!!! A Kloster is a monastery or convent, and we were also told can also mean covanent. The Kloster Ettal is a monastery, and the monks there make their own bier (beer, lol) and liquor. We were able to go inside the Basilica, and it was very elaborate in the paintings and statues. After arriving back at the motel Jamie and the kids went down to the pool, and I did my favorite....LAUNDRY! Then we went to a Mexican restaraunt downtown, it was really good!

The pictures: The kids getting to pretend to milk a cow, check out the backs of the folding chairs, a couple of street signs, the basilica, the kids and I, the kids at Sausalito's.
