Fraueninsel and Family
I spent one of my last weekends in Germany visiting my Aunt Mary, Cousin Raquel, and Uncle Joerg at the Chiemsee in Bavaria Germany.

There was also the prospect of a white-out or at worst a thick fog on the eastern slopes. Common sense prevailed and due consideration taken of Helen's ice ballet skills.
