A day as fine as today should have been spent in a beer garden.

Sighhhh.

Today was such a lovely autumn day, and my thoughts turned to the glories of the Bavarian beer garden. Here are two random views from the last group trip I escorted in September, 2004. First, the self-serve window.



And the view just outside Bamberg, in lovely and beery Franconia.

(The customers were all behind me when this photo was taken, circa 10.00 a.m.)
