fussen

hello all!

we went to a small town today about 2 hours away from munich. the town is called fussen. we rode the train there... i wish we had trains in the u.s. the are so easy and convenient to travel on... but maybe that is because i am with josh... he is so good with figuring out where to go and how to get there.

today was rainy... misty, but we didn't mind it too much. in fussen there is a beautiful castle... the one that Disney was based on. (i cant remember the name of the castle... opps) it is in the mountains so we went to a look out point before we got into the castle. in was incredible. the pictures we have say it all. we stood on a bridge and looking down instead of at the castle was a little scary... we were pretty high up. the tour was fun... neat to see all the fancy stuff... as this castle isnt as old as the last one we went to.

we came back to Munich and ate dinner... waiting to catch the night train to Venice... can't wait to see out cabin on the train.

interesting about Germany:

all the waitresses have large wallets that they carry on them... like a big mom wallet... when you get the bill they let u get your money out and then they give you change right there. kinda nice and quick

lots on middle eastern people... women in full garb but carrying prada purses. and shopping in all the expensive stores.

better go... not sure what I wrote after this but disregard.

sending love.... talk to u in Italy!

ok I woul

  1. Thanks for the updates (got some photos through Anna and Angie). I look forward to your updates each day. I think the castle was Newschwanstein (spelling might not be correct). What a wonderful view. Amy, sorry you had to endure the concentration camps -can't take the history out of the boy, though! Continue to have a great time.

  2. Whew! I am glad that the unusual internet activity issue is getting resolved! I thought for a minute that you guys got tired of updating us on your honeymoon! Enjoy Venice!

    Will this be your first over-night train? I recommend Tylenol PM and/or excessive amounts of alcohol for that!

  3. The castle doesn't even look real! How unbelievable!
    Your new camera takes great pictures. I think you're becoming quite the amateur photographer! Then again, you do have a lot to work with! ;-)
    You will have to let us know how the train ride is. Hope you're taking pictures of your cabins!
