It blows my mind too guys... AND it is still going on, right now in the 21st century...
The treatment of little girls/women/kids in Afghanistan/Pakistan/India/S.E. Asia, Look at the situation in Nigeria... SOmalia... Saddam gassing the Kurds... Hell, every night there are shootings after shootings after shootings in our cities... Pretty much nightly in St Louis metro...
Blows my mind...
ANYYYYYYYYWAY...
Glad you and Gma are enjoying your trip in the old country... Keep posting pics, this is a cool thread!!!
Thanks for posting...

Sorry I haven't updated the past couple days with pics. I have not had wifi lately and the data network crawls when trying to up load pics. I'll see what I can do a bit later when I have more time. This is where I was today!

Astronomical clock over 500 years old and accurate!

Changing of the guard at Prague castle. The castle is actually one of the five Prague cities
Did you know the Disney Castle is modeled after Nueschwanstein? The gold castle on the other peak was his fathers, Schwanstein.
It's quite the hike up the hill eh? Hope you got Omi on the cart ride :thumbs:

I loved the south of Germany best even though most of my relatives are central and northern.
Yah southern Germany is my fav as well. The country side is so beautiful there. From what I understand Disneys sleeping beauty castle was based off Neuschwanstein! We only went to this castle and not the other as we were limited on time.Quote:

I'm def planning to come back for a couple weeks in a year or 2. I want to do the Oktoberfest in munchen! Want to take the wife here also and show her how awesome it is.
Crazy King Ludwig....they say he was into Vogner....or maybe Vogner was into him :yikes:.............until they took him out in a row boat and shot him before he could completely bankrupt the kingdom :rolleyesQuote:
