Weilheim is the administrative hub of the Weilheim-Schongau Region which is also called the "Pfaffenwinkel". Loosely translated means that "Priest's Corner". This part of Upper Bavaria is know for its many churches and monasteries. Obviously the priests found this a popular place to settle!
Weilheim has a population of over 21 000 and can be a good starting point for exploring the surrounding area.
The town is almost a thousand years old and whenever we arrived there a festival was going on.

Elizabeth was never shy or embarrased to appraoch locakl people and ask for something.
Even in her funny accent laden German Elizabeth was able to make herself understood. She soon found out that Bavarian is a language in itself.
I repeatedly told her that it is not proper to use the not formal "Du" for "you" when speaking with a stranger but she still insisted on using it instead of the informal "Sie".
She remedied that by saying "da" for everything. This brought many smiles and gaffing from the locals. But it was all fun.
Using hands and feet on top of that to express herself always made for an interesting show.
I always kept my mouth shut and just watched and listened. it was much better than any comedy show on German TV.
I was still amazed about all the things which Elizabeth discovered during our little sightseeing tours. Not only in shops, boutiques or on a market. Cats looking out of a window. An older woamn still riding a bicycle. Little children holding hands wghen walking. You name it.
