Only time for a quick one tonight, since most of our internet time is being spent putting up NEW PICTURES. WOOHOO!!!!!
Yesterday we visited two of King Ludwig II´s castles: Neuschwanstein (the big white one that Disney modeled his after) and Hohenschwangau (meaning "swans of the highlands", the yellowy-tinged one). Then we rode luges. Both great fun.
Today we saw a third King Ludwig spot: Linderhof. Pretty ostentatious, but very beautiful. We also saw this thing there called Venus´Grotto, or cave. See, Ludwig was a pretty big Richard Wagner fan (the composer), so a lot of his decor was inspired by his symphonies and operas. Our cave pics kind of sucked, so Google it if you want to see some good ones :). Then we paid a short visit to the town of Oberammergau, which is like the world capital of woodcarving.
Off to Munich tomorrow morning, where we´ll spend one last night before flying home on Tuesday--hopefully first class :). See you all soon!

Irelend/SCotland would be great next.. although I really want to plunk down on a beach somewhere for 2 weeks. HMmmm. Well, I guess I will have to do both! Cant wait to call you up and see how jetlag feels for you! Took me a week to turn it around.
YOUR A BLOGGER!
Hey guys!
I've been following your blog and reading your updates faithfully, but have been too lazy to comment. I'm so glad you've had such an awesome time. It all has sounded so amazing - except for the luggage part! Major major bummer! Hopefully they will compensate you well for all the trouble. I have to say that you are troupers - all 4 of you! Have an awesome last few days. I've enjoyed living life vicarious through you over the past month. Thanks for the ride!
By the way, Happy Birthday Terri!! (one day late. What a way to spend your birthday!
Take care guys!

Hey Guys,
I've enjoyed reading about your adventures. Are you going to keep up this blog after the 10th Anniversary Euro Expedition is over? Inquiring minds want to know.
Well done!
Now, have you heard about Facebook?
:)
Welcome home. Happy B'day, Ter.
