Yes, I realize that this blog is turning into a travel log. Sorry about that.
Colmar, France
Munich, Germany
There is a ton of history in this city, and two days really only gave us a little taste of it. Andrew and Jack were able to go on a Third Reich tour and we also toured some museums and cathedrals containing art, Bavarian royal jewels and skeletal remains.
My head is still reeling from all of the murals and ornamentation that I saw inside this castle. We weren't allowed to take pictures on the inside, so you'll just have to take my word for it. That King Ludwig might have been crazy, but he had some mighty fine taste.
This was the castle where Ludwig II spent his childhood and lived until he had Neuschwanstein built. The two castles are close to each other, although we didn't realize that until the fog cleared up in the afternoon.

Seriously, why did you photoshop Andrew into that picture? It's kinda weird.
