On Sunday my host family took me to Lake Eibsee.
 
This lake sits at the foot of the Zugspitze- Germany’s highest mountain,
and has a surface elevation of almost 1000m.
 
The drive there and the lake itself gave me a taste of Bavaria,
made me want more,
and reminded me why I chose this area as my home for the next year…
 
Snow covered mountains,
lush, green forests,
and crystal clear lakes-
(at least the part that isn’t covered in snow).
 
I can’t wait to return in the summer time-
apparently the water is bright turquoise.

    Gorgeous! My favorite city isn't a hard choice (I've only really visited one); it has to be Berlin! It is such a fun city with so much history. If you ever go, I know the name of a great hostel.
