The Black Forest part 2

After we left the bee farm, we took a short trip to the workshop of a well known wood carver.





This was a home on the property. Our tour guide had told us that this home was built along time ago when they used to raise their livestock in the basement area of the home. This driveway was used to haul the hay into the home to feed the livestock. Their livestock was raised this way to keep the owners warm in the winter. Talk about stinky!!!


















This is a friend of Kara's named Lorelei. During the bus traveling, Lorelei sat with Kara and they had the best of time! Lorelei told Kara that there was a legend behind her name. The Legend of Lorelei Rock. "there once was a beautiful girl named Lorelei. She fell in love with a boy but the boy did not love her back and married a different maiden. Lorelei was so heartbroken that she jumped off a rock in front of all the wedding guests. Some people still think they can see Lorelei sitting there brushing her long blonde hair." (As told by Kara)


This is a sculpture the man was working on. This may be the world record for largest wooden sculpture. He is entering it in the World Records contest.
