Today we saw the best and worst of Germany. Our morning started at the Dachau Concentration Camp. From the moment we walked through the gate with the sign Albreit Macht Frei (work makes you free), the group became very somber. I don’t think they’ve been more attentive and quiet ever. It’s very emotional and sobering.
From there we traveled to the fairyland castle of Neuschwanstein. The inspiration for the castle at Disneyland, it lived up to its billing. Poor Mad King Ludwig never even got to live there- he died under mysterious circumstances before getting to live in his Swan Castle. Several of the girls are planning weddings there- better start saving now!
