Work in Europe for 13 months..

"Work in Europe for 13 months" - That was the headline of the Craigslist add that I applied to in June 2011. Just four months later, I said farewell to Seattle and arrived at my new home in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany. While here, I will be working at Edelweiss Lodge and Resort and traveling throughout Europe...

Baden Baden and Schwarzwald

When Josh was here we also took a trip to Baden Baden, the famous spa town of Germany which has ancient Roman spas. It was such a relaxing getaway and we stayed in a beautiful hotel! While in Baden Baden we visited a thermal spa and went wine tasting.

We went to Caracalla Therme in Baden Baden - the more modest of the two spas in town where you wear clothes! The warm water is sourced from 12 mineral springs and is believed to have healing power. I don't know about all that, but after spending three hours soaking in indoor and outdoor pools and jacuzzis we definitely felt relaxed! There are also tanning beds, lounge chairs with solar lamps, and aroma therapy saunas. You can spend hours just hopping from one station to the next. It was such a fun time! Imagine Waterworld for adults...



Driving through the wine region in Baden Baden. We "tasted" at a couple places, but it was more like taste to buy. Needless to say, we came home with a few bottles!




We also drove home through the Black Forest, stopping in Triberg, home of cuckoo clocks and Germany's highest Wasserfalle - which was frozen!!




Josh's Favorite!
