The human mind is an amazing puzzle... It goes to show you that "people" can rationalize just about anything if you try hard enough... Given the right climate/circumstances...
When you have a few minutes read about the highly civilized Japanese solders and their actions in Nanking... And the well documented 20,000+ cases of rape against small girls in the first few months of the occupation of Nanking by these highly civilized Japanese soldiers...
History is full of cases of UNthinkable criminal atrocities...
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...

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.
It was raining today and with Omi being 81, we took the horse carriage ride up which was a good time as well.
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.
