The cold front has moved through and the weather is better. We took a walk on the outskirts of Friedrichsdorf. The fall colors are in full display. This is the part of Germany that typically escapes Rick Steves--and it is the part we love the most. Put yourself into these scenes and see if you just don't somehow feel better!

 As we came back into town I took this photo. The Friedrichsdorf Temple spire can be seen in the center of the photo above the blue guard rails. You can also see the top of our apartment to the right of the circle sign near the building on the right. This gives you an idea about how far it is from our house to the temple.
