We “travel” back in time to our trip to Germany from our home during the stay-at-home orders due to coronavirus. We flew to Munich, drive to Neuschwanstein Castle, and Berchtesgaden while making our way to Austria for a Viennese Ball. We cook up a delicious Wiener Schnitzel (German Schnitzel) and potato salad. We hope you enjoy. Virtual hello and thank you to all!!
