Mom is telling me to wish everyone a Happy belated fourth despite me hating that celebration due to the awful fireworks.

that's very frightening to me.

We said goodbye to beautiful Salzburg and planned to drive over the German Alps. It was a little tricky to get out of town with lots of traffic, little cars buzzing around like bees, and a horse carriage?

We did get a great view of the castle as we were leaving

We were not only leaving Salzburg, but we also left Austria and are now in Germany, and this is the first border we were stopped at. A smiling policeman asked if Mom was traveling alone, and she responded like she always does. 

"Nope, I have my copilot with me" and points at me............and we were waived on with a smile.

I'm not sure exactly what the plan was, but we didn't get far before we needed to get gas,and Mom said "This looks pretty let us stop here" and we did

We stopped at a tourist information booth to look for things we need to see, and there was this pretty lady telling us about great places to visit

On the hill behind the place, Mom said there were giant Henrys on the field?  Noway those aren't dogs they don't have the right scent, I said

We are at Köningssee a lake deeply nestled between towering cliffs with emerald green water at the foot of the imposing Watzmann East Wall. The heart of the Berchtesgaden National Park.

We parked in an RV parking and went for a walk in to town. Amazing how things can grow on a rock if allowed 

Souvenir shops growing like mushrooms at all these beautiful places

Mom really wanted one of these birdfeeders but they were expensive and had to be shipped for a lot of money 

The water in this lake is green very green and freezing cold. The lake is noted for its clear water and is advertised as the cleanest lake in Germany. For this reason, only electric-powered passenger ships, rowing, and pedal boats have been permitted on the lake since 1909. We were told its clean to drink, and I did

the lake lies just south of the town of Berchtesgaden, in a deep cut that is surrounded by sheer limestone mountains, within the Berchtesgaden National Park. Königssee is one of the most picturesque lakes here and is 5 miles (8 km) long and from 1,500 feet (457 m) to more than 1 mile (1.6 km) wide, and its greatest depth is 617 feet (188 m). 

We bought tickets for the boat and again I had to wear a muzzle, which of course Mom takes off as soon as nobody looks, which I'm very grateful for, because. I can't give kisses with it on.

It's not a clear day so we can't see the top of the mountains, still very pretty though.

At the stop we had lunch and this time we ate smoked trout, which Mom loved, I thought it was just ok

The St. Bartholomew pilgrimage church and hunting lodge, on its west shore, formerly belonged to the prince-bishops of Salzburg and later to the kings of Bavaria. The lake is stocked with Alpine trout (saibling, or arctic char).

A combination church and hunting lodge. Bavarian royalty and the local rulers of Berchtesgaden and Salzburg hunted here, Hitler went boating on the lake, and Eva Braun liked to sunbathe on the shore.

After lunch, after a looong boring wait we continued on the boat to the end of the lake, 

On the way back I started to get a little worried and at first, Mom couldn't figure out why?  But it was thunder in the air and she soon found out. These boats are soooooo so slow so there was no way of getting away from this disaster that's happening. Mom kept telling me it's ok it's ok don't worry. It's easy for her to say, she doesn't FEEL it like I do, she thinks it's kind of exciting.

Back in town, we had about a 15 min walk to Lucy. It was pouring rain so Mom bought a rain poncho and carried me under it. I suggested we stay in town and order a beer to wait for it to stop, the problem was, it didn't stop it was still raining when we went to sleep 

It's now 7.30 am and it's not raining but it's cloudy so we'll stay here until it's clear, because what is the point of getting up on the mountains without a view?

We are close to Hitler's Eagles nest but we aren't sure if it's worth paying to see it. We can't drive there on our own and tourists are getting milked on money everywhere we go.

I think we are going for a shorter hike today, and again we'll rest.

Having a great time 

Kisses to ya all Henry

It hasn't been easy to get Mom to help me with my story, because now Mom got a book that completely mesmerized her. The author is from her puppy town and the story is about a woman's life and struggles to live in Northern Sweden from 1896 to 1985. ...

Ever since we arrived in Mom's puppy town she's been sleeping later and later in the mornings, this morning she didn't get up until 7.30, that's a record. I think she's reminiscing back to her teens? Here I'm running after the ball at the same fiel...
