I have been thinking of this place too much. I think in fact more than thinking about summers in Paris, which I always think about during my swims. Garmisch Partenkirchen or easier known as GAP.

I decided not to visit it when I was planning for a mountain visit August last year, because I was afraid of disappointments. I was at GAP for only 6 hours three years ago, jus enough time for a short ride. The image I remembered of the place - flat land surrounded by grasses, mountains and bare roads that you have no way of knowing where is where, little wooden houses with balconies decorated with pretty flowers - might not be really how GAP is. Judging by how I always felt that food in my memories tasted better than what I had now, I thought perhaps I remembered it to be more pretty than it really was. In the end I decided to spend more time in France and went to Chamonix instead.

But I know it is one place I still want to visit again (not forgetting Karin and Peter, whom I still write to), because I couldn't stop thinking about it. Perhaps I will be disappointed no matter when I visit, so why not jus visit again!

So till when I am back there again.

In fact, the picture that I wanted to paint is that image I had when leaving GAP.
