Trachtenmode

Here is a traditional Black Forest outfit. I took my mother to Bad Wildbad, a very nice spa town in the Black Forest yesterday. The weather of course, was crap. It has been 30+ degrees every day until we go to the nice town, then it is 16 and drizzling. Stupid German weather.

We also went to a "barefoot park" where you walk a 60 minute course in bare feet, walking on various sand, rocks, water and obstacles. It is supposed to be very healthy. I thought it was funny. I think that will be the next post.

Is this same black forest from where the world derives black forest ham?

Instead of a brewery tour, they should have a tour of the pig farm, and processing plant, and at the end, you can sample a variety of hams.

Oh yes, the other aisle in this store was full of ham.

This is also land of black forest cake.
