A bridge over a body of water
Over a month ago,
my host mom took me and the fiance to this secret location.
Honestly, I have no idea how we got here,
or where it is located.
She said it was a secret,
since many local people fear that if it were discovered,
it would quickly be overtaken by tourists.Thankfully, I currently live in Germany,
and no longer consider myself a visitor.The moment I glimpsed this view,
I immediately understood why she chooses to keep it a mystery.
I was stopped in my tracks,
as my mouth immediately fell open.
The view was so stunning,
it was as if my eyes were playing a nasty little trick on me.
I worried it would all vanish in an instant.

Accepting that it was indeed real,
I was able to walk again.

We found a picnic table,
and ordered the usual-
beer, pretzels, and roasted chicken.
My eyes and belly were very very happy.

This is one reason why I love Bavaria so very very much.
