Went to an awesome castle today... Neuschwanstein Castle!
Day One Oberammergau, Germany
Got to the hotel very late. Had an unbelievable room with two stories, two balconies, and we were "too" tired to enjoy it all. :)
After about 6 hours sleep, we got back on the bus and headed 30 minutes away to the little Bavarian village that puts on a major Passion Play once every 10 years since 1634.
It was drizzling 90% of the day but we still manged to shop during our free time.
The Passion Play (See Website) was awesome and much better than I could imagine a town of 5,000 pulling off. Everyone in the play are "normal" people from the village, around 2,000 are involved. Great production, music, and singing. We left very impressed.
Day One Frankfurt, Germany
Spent the day on the way (in Eisenach) visiting Bach's home/museum, St. George's church, and a castle Luther hide out in.

Day Three Leipzig, Germany
Today we went to our favorite city (so far), Wittenburg. Luther lived here with his wife and he nailed his 95 Thesis to the door of the chapel/school/castle.

Day Two Leipzig, Germany
Went to Erfurt today where Luther went to University and where he lived as a monk in an Augustinian Monastery. (below)
Ordered Pepperoni Pizza and got pizza with peppers all over it. Still was good.
There is a cool bridge in town "Kramer Bridge." It is the oldest inhabited bridge in Europe. Here are images from the bridge and under it.
