The Bavarian Alps

Hi All,

Quick update on our latest adventures....we spent the night in Neuschwanstein in the Bavarian Alps.  There are two castles there and the town is amazingly cute!!  One of the castles is the premise for Disney's famous castle and it is absolutely ridiculous inside, although the then king Ludwig was determined insane and died before his castle was finished.  Its unfortunate because the 16 rooms out of the 180 some-odd are beautiful and beyond his time, would have liked to see what it would have looked like if it had been finished.  Vic and I traveled to Rothenburg and are spending the night in a medieval picturesque town.  We'll finish the romantic road and head to Berlin for a few days before we conclude our stay in Germany.  After the craziness of Oktoberfest I have to admit this touristy stuff is kind of nice.

Write again soon!

  2. Hey MSN is posting that the US is putting out a warning for all US citizens who are traveling in Europe. "The U.S. State Department on Sunday will issue a travel "alert" urging American citizens to be vigilant as they travel in Europe, government officials told NBC News on Saturday." Please be careful out there, love you Mom

  3. I just heard, Vic and I were in the main square in Berlin for reunification day and figured it probably wasn't the smartest place to be and left...thanks for the warning. We'll stay vigilant.
