This is a first for me in Germany. I'm driving the little Cooper into the Black Forrest tomorrow, stopping in Baden-Baden which is known for it's rich history of Roman Emperiors taking their baths there in 1000. And after a 3 hour experience in this rich Roman Bath and traditional scrubbing, I proceed to Triberg, the town of "Cuckoo Clocks." My friend Zenobia will shop for a cuckoo clock and we will climb the highest waterfall in all of Germany! The weather calls for rain in Triberg so I will take my famous green rain jacket (that my family endorses either framing or burning) and perhaps my red Wellington's. I want to do this hike and have the appropriate (if not fashionable) clothing.
We have rooms reserved at a Hotel that has been serving guests since 1790, 6 generations of the Faulkner family, which is known for it's service and exceptional cuisine. It's considered "remote" since it is 2.3km outside the city proper, on a farm that is 100% organic, thus it's reputation for exceptional food. I'll let you know if the hype is genuine but at 41e a night, please!
So, the weekend bag is packed, I have the German Dictionary and mapquest directions printed out, and Ollie, the GPS guide, is loaded. I'm so excited. This may mean the end to my USO tours, I don't know. But I will keep you informed.
Wish me safe driving!

How fun is this? Love the mini Cooper and I for one, am a big fan of the green jacket.
Tons o' fun! You're going to be sooo clean when you leave Germany--all these famous baths:) Yes, by all means safe driving, safe bathing, and don't you dare lose that green jacket. How in the world would I recognize you?
I'm jealous!
You know we're all waiting for an update, don't you?
