During the Summer of 2017, I did a 30 day trek in Europe. I started by flying to Frankfurt, Germany on July 11th, and visiting with my niece, MaLaan and family. From there I rented a car and traveled through the Black Forest National Park towards Switzerland.

     I started the day by driving to Baden-Baden and visiting the world famous Roman Spas, (pictured below).

     The Black Forest is not really black, but deep evergreen—mostly Norway spruce, a tall straight tree ideal for timber.
