Two weeks ago Katy's brother Joey and sister Sarah came for the week. They flew in on Saturday and got to see us win against Trier. That night they enjoyed the food and drinks of the VIP room and had a good time sitting and talking to everyone.
Then the next day after a workout in the morning we decided to take a little trip. We drove down the romantic road until Augsburg where we stayed the night in the Ubernacht hostel. We didnt have a room when we got there becuasse we didnt know where we would be staying. It was fun to drive around and check out the prices of different places as we made Katy's brother run into all the places and ask. We got a little laugh at this as one of the places was not well lit and something out of a scary movie - kind of.
During that day on our drive down we stopped at a couple places but the place we liked the best was a big wall from a castle that surrounded an old city. We were able to climb the wall and walk around it. We got some cool pictures and had fun imaging we were archers back in the day protecting the city from the little windows along the top of the wall.
From Augsburg it was off to Fussen and Castle Nueshwanstein. The castle was awesome and we loved getting to see what the Walt Disney Catle was modeled after. To see the inside you had to take a guided tour so we did that.
It was interesting to findd out that only 17 out of the planned 100 rooms were finished as the King Ludwig died an early mysteriuos death (all casltes and things that were being built were then stopped when he died). The castle was beautiful and very picturesce as it was located in the German alps and near to another castle only a couple 100 meters away. We have never seen the alps before and loved getting to see the white mountains and how they rose out of the ground really high and really fast, even though the area leading up to the alps was relativley flat.
