Another Dispatch from the Ore Mountains

So, the Ore Mountains are everything we thought they would be and more. More wooden toys than you could shake a stick at. Fortunately, we managed to leave most of them there. . . my emphasis on the word "most."



There were pyramids, schwibbogen (candle arches), smokers, nutcrackers, and a whole bunch of other stuff.





Despite the fact that there were a jillion-and-a-half stores, every one was a bit different, showing stuff from a different manufacturer and the woodwork was really quite remarkable.



We also visited a factory and got to witness the making of the toys. So, even though this is generally not really my (Pete) thing, we did head to Prague with a little less space in the van. Check out the photos here and on our flickr site.
