Little Bavaria

 Today we drove to Frankenmuth, MI, known as 'Little Bavaria' As you can see by the photos, the theme was carried out throughout the city. Flowers along every street, German music playing and a good time atmosphere everywhere. We took a ride on the Bavarian Belle paddle boat. I don't think there are paddle boats in Bavaria, but it was fun anyway. We went to the Frakenmuth Fudge factory, bought 4 kinds of fudge, the Cheese Haus and bought 8 kinds of imported cheese. Then to the Castle shop for authentic German pastries, wine and imported beer...all at one place. We are at the Drury Inn and it is right downtown and an easy walk to everything. We are heading home tomorrow with lots of wonderful memories!''
