Passion Play Music Festival

This is the Passion Play Theatre where the residents of Oberammergau perform The Passion of Christ every ten years. It is a cool story dating back to the plague. This was where our festival was held. It was incredible, except for the near freezing temperature and occasional rain.
Our choir (minus a couple who had wandered away). I'm holding our silver microphone trophy (all of the choirs got one) after the awards ceremony.
I could not tell you about the festival with out including a picture of Prof. Eyebrows, our emcee. Yes. They are real!

Singing at the Festival

Our group performing, plus a couple of our favorite fellow performers: The Austrian yodelers--the real deal--you can see their leiderhosen, but you don't see the mandatory flasks in their coat pockets, and the choir from the Netherlands that sings Gospel music from the Southern US. You will notice their enthusiasm.

Oberammergau

Don't worry. I had to practice along time before I could say it, too. This is the charming town in the mountains of Bavaria where we stayed and had our festival on the Passion Play Theatre stage (see other post). We all fell in love with Oberammergau. The entire town felt as if it had been lifted out of a fairy tale.

Munich Madness

Our first day in Europe! The weather was much colder and wetter than anticipated. These pics. are in Munich. The bottom one is in front of Nymphenburg palace.

Family Portraits

My sister said she was sick of the Easter bunnies and that I had to make a new post, now! I actually have tons of pics to post (a little overwhelming) but am missing some of the first ones, chronologically. I will try to get the important stuff up here a little at a time, but in the mean time I thought you would like to see how beautiful our little family is!
