This is the palace of King Ludwick II, the first place we visited on our first full day in Europe! (Saturday, 12th) It is crazy gorgeous on the inside. Everything is covered in gold, silk, and ostrich feathers. Unfortunately, they would not let us take pictures, so you will have to use your imagination. We went through the palace and then hiked about a mile through the grounds to see the King's personal underground opera house and his hunting lodge. It was intense. After that, we visited a small town famous for the 10-hour-long Passion play it puts on every ten years. Finally we topped it all off with a visit to a fancy church. It was full of paintings, gilding, sculptures:
Today, the 13th, we drove most of the day. We did, however stop in both Austria and Liechtenstein. Two more countries. H00ray!
This is Sam, me, Jordan, and Becca standing in the rain in Austria. The view was unbelievable, but it was so cold that we took a couple of pictures and jumped back on the bus. It's supposed to be summer! Good thing I learned from my experiences in Germany last summer: always pack warm.
Right here we are about to carry Becca into Liechtenstein! Actually this was taken after we had already eaten lunch in the country, but I wanted irrefutable proof that we had actually been there!

I don't see any proof you were in Austria. What does your passport show? DAD
