Meeting with friends

We live in the southernmost tip of Austria and they live in the middle of Germany. So, we agreed to meet somewhere in the middle. Each of us drove about three hours to reach a Spa, called "Bad Reichenhall".
We drove there on Saturday and met with our friends Saturday, afternoon, then for dinner in the evening, for breakfast on Sunday morning and lunch, later in the day. At about 3PM we took a leisurely drive back home. It was a lovely short weekend. The weather also played along, starting to rain a bit only during our homeward trek.
It was not a "photo shoot".
It was just to meet and talk to friends whom we do not see often enough.
I took just a few shots along the way:

a rustic "Gasthaus" offered us cool drinks

and good food.

it's  called the "Madlbauer" (the Girlfarmer)

The story has it, that although he, the farmer, his wife

and finally the entire village prayed that he may have a son

this farmer begat nought but girls.

                                  A small lake, maybe a big pond, 
                                       at the foot of the "Gasthaus"
Just imagine how beautiful it had been, had the sun shone a little.

       Lilac, Lilac, Lilac everywhere you looked. Simply beautiful.
