Today we started out by going on a three hour bus ride to the most southern part of Germany and going to Neuschwanstein Castle. It lies right next to the Austrian - German border. It was built by King Ludwig II but he unfortunately died as soon as he built. Im guessing that would be my luck too. As soon as I would build some nice castle, something bad would happen. It was a very impressive because of where it was in the Alps and to see how they built it is still a marvel to me. We started off by taking a 30 minutes hike up the mountain to get to the castle and then we had a tour of the castle. Inside the castle, it was as amazing on the inside as it was on the outside. Every little detail of the castle was perfect. But we had to be reminded several times (in mean German accent) not to take pictures or to touch the statues.
Next, we went back to Munich and picked up a tour guide for our bus. She guided us around the city and showed us all of the cool places around Germany. After the tour, we went to the mall and ate at a german "buffet." After dinner, we were able to walk around the town for a little bit and shop and get some souvenirs.
Finally we ended the night by going back to the hotel and hanging around before finally going to sleep.
I have to say so far, this trip has been a blast. Sorry mom, but I'm not quite ready to come home just yet.

Good to hear that all is well and I'm amazed at all that you have seen. The castle sounds amazing; do you miss American food yet? :-)
