We want to Move to Germany

Not really, but we are certainly enjoying our time here. The photograph, which will hopefully show up, is of my foot, beside a 'footprint' in a rock. There is an old legend that a monk was running away from something and his footprint got imbedded into a rock. I don' t think that it is true, but it certainly looked like a real footprint in a boulder!

We also saw several castles in southern Germany - Neuschwanstein, Hohenschwangau, and Linderhof. All of them were amazingly ornate and beautiful. Anja (my sister´s exchange partner) and her family were fantastic hosts! We also went to see her brothers 'new' house, which is actually over 400 years old. He is working to restore it right now.

For the moment, we are in Munich. Yesterday we went to Dachau, the concentration camp. It was a very sobering experience. We also went up to the top of the olympic tower, where we had an amazing view of the citz. We are staying with mz friend Marie and her boyfriend Matthias who are both just awesome people and live in a great part of town. This afternoon we will travel to Berging where I lived while I was on exchange. So far it has been a very relaxing and enjoyable trip.
