It snowed and it snowed...the city was busy clearing both the streets
and the hiking paths.
It was a cloudy, overcast day,
so we decided to make a short hike to Bischofswiesen and return to Berchtesgaden
for the local mardi gras activities in the afternon.
One of the fun things we watched were the wheelbarrow
races. Dressed in costumes, the participants raced along an obstacle course
and performed various 'skills' such as downing a shot of 'schnapps', sawing
a log, and hammering a nail into a board.
