Almost home!

We have been in Germany for about 5 days now. It is great! We have been getting really worn out lately and so we've been taking it easy here. We are staying in a little resort town with a beautiful lake, so we have been doing small hikes and walks around the lake. Yesterday we went to Dachau Concentration Camp. I don't think I can go into detail there because I'll start cryzing in this internet cafe, but suffice it to say that it was terribly sad. Everyone who has a chance should visit one in their lifetime.
Today we are in Berchtesgaten and we saw Hitler's Eagle's Nest. Basically his summer home. Oh, and Tuesday we had quite the adventure finding the temple in Frankfurt. We finally found it, right before the last session at 5:00! It was a close one!
We will be back in the states on Monday and back in Idaho Tuesday.

We also went to Helbrunn Palace today where the original owner built all kinds of trick water fountains to trick his guests in the 1600's. It was very fun!

We went ont eh Sound of Music Tour today. It was so much fun! We visited all the sites, listening to and singing with the songs the whole way!

Salzburg, Austria

I went paragliding in the Alps for my late b-day present from KC. It was awesome! This is me floating throught the air!

Beautiful Bern, Switzerland
