English Church

The morning after Garmischer fest, Jenn, Mike, and I all headed to church. Jenn had found an English church some how so we were on our way. The church was in a small apartment building in between a souvenir shop and a backery. There were 10 people in all. Half of us were American and the half were English. The service itself was good and afterwards we all had coffee or juice and ate cookies. Almost as soon as church was over, the Garmischer fest parade began. It was a parade of the the different Germany groups within Garmisch. Each group had a different traditional costume and some had small bands as well. They paraded around for a few hours. After the parade had passed, we decided to get some lunch. Although I did not want to eat here, we all went to get Doners (pretty much like a Gyro). We took our lunch to the park since it was a beautiful day. It is kind of odd to see people eating in the park, so we stood out like a sore thumb. But we didn't mind. After finishing, Jenn showed us a small walking trail that you are suppose to go barefoot on. The trail has different items that you walk on that supposedly helps to get rid of something bad in the body. We walked through pinecones, mud, small rock, big rocks, dirt, beauty bark, stumbs, grass, and lastly a small creek that was so cold it hurt. Overall though, it was fun. Jenn and I really enjoyed ourselves and Mike sat on the side watching.
