Visitors from a far away land


This week our first visitors arrived - friends Heather and Todd from Austin. After arriving Wednesday morning, we made a quick stop at the apartment for some refreshing, and then headed out to the Dachau concentration camp. That evening we joined up with Kyle for a traditional Bavarian meal. The following day Heather, Todd and I headed out to the Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau castles. Hohenschwangau, seen in the background of the following photo, is where the previously mentioned Mad King Ludwig II grew up during some summer holidays, .
Neuschwantstein (as seen in the photo at the top) was one of the amazing castles he planned when he was king, though this one was never completely finished. Gorgeous views all around, though on the way there I think Todd and Heather were still a bit jet lagged....
