Hello everyone,
This is our last night here in Germany. We are staying the night here in Koblenz. So far we have had a great time, but everyone is really wore out from everything we have done.
Sorry but Im not going to write much tonight because I want to get a good night's sleep before the flight tomorrow.
Im having some difficulties uploading pictures at the moment. But, we will see you tomorrow night in Indy.
Today we went to Cologne and saw the Cathedral and then walked around the city and had some shopping time. We then went back to the hotel and had a supper provided by the hotel.
More later.
Thanks everyone for following along and make sure to check back later after I post some of my favorite pictures from the trip. (I have taken a little over 2,500) hahaha

Hello all,
Sorry about not being able to post last night. Our hotel was on the outskirts of Rothenburg and we didn't have access to internet. But that didn't stop us from having fun, despite what some kids thought. We started out the day by going to the Dachau Concentration Camp, which is located outside of Munich. Dachau was the first camp that the Nazi party had set up to hold people because of the over crowding of the prisons. We toured through a museum there and then toured the grounds. We were able to go through the barracks and then we were able to go through the gas chamber and crematorium. Needless to say, it was a pretty depressing visit, but everyone got a lot out of it. I think we often forget how easy we have it today in our world. But going to a place like that makes you appreciate our freedoms. Well on that note, we then got on the bus and Peter, our bus driver, made us some sausages. Once back on the bus we headed to Rothenburg, which is one of the oldest cities in Germany. We walked around the old city and did some shopping. Once we gathered back up, we went to our hotel which was in the suburbs of Rothenburg. It was a really small farming community, you could smell manure right out of the windows (not kidding). For supper last night, we ate at a German restaurant near our hotel.
Today we are in Heidelberg, but a lot of places are closed due to it being Good Friday. We are staying in a small hotel tonight that is in the middle of the forest. If were lucky, hopefully they will have indoor plumbing, running water and American toilet paper.
