Located in southern Germany (a mere 5-6 hrs from Basel) is Garmisch. In 2004, Robert had the opportunity to meet a Roche colleague, Robert Huber, and his family (Gaby, Daniela, and Florian). The Huber’s invited us to visit for the weekend – they were gracious hosts and fantastic tour guides. Garmisch-Partenkirchen is Germany’s largest alpine resort and consists of two towns that were merged for the 1936 Olympic Winter Games. We spent half a day sight-seeing (see castle blog), a day and a half skiing and the rest of the time eating and enjoying the Huber’s fantastic German hospitality. Mr. Huber spent time teaching Nancy how to ski while Florian introduced Robert to slopes that were a bit more challenging. The weather didn’t allow us to see all the great mountain views while we were there so we’re planning a return trip in the summer – we can't wait! You can see the pictures from Garmisch here.
