After breakfast Mark and I took a *very* short walk around the tiny village square.

Just a quick walk down the street we ran into Konditorei Seidl. We'll have to come back here with the girls and pick up some goodies!

Just a pretty looking building with a wooden nativity.

Let's walk up one of the side streets and check out the church.

The doors of the church were locked but we could hear someone practicing the organ inside.

This is the main building of the B&B (breakfast was in this building). Our little rental house was behind the main building.

Lovely winter display of greenery in a wooden trough and stacked rocks.

We grabbed the girls and headed off to the konditorei to pick up treats.  They even had my one and only special favorite- Malakoff Torte!!!!  (it's my birthday "cake" that I make every year.)
