I went to Europe. In fact, one month ago today we were flying home from Amsterdam to Dallas. It really doesn't seem real now. We went with D's sister and her husband on their tenth anniversary trip and it could not have been more fun! We flew into Munich, Germany, rented a car, and drove through Germany, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
Day 1: Arrive in Munich, drive to Dachau, drive to Ulm, drive to Frankfurt to spend the night.

Layover in Amsterdam on the way to Munich. The time change was killer.
"Work shall set you free"Trying not to look too happy at the entrance to Dachau Concentration Camp. It was a very reverent and sobering place. I'm so glad we got to go.
Please don't judge me for wearing a fanny pack. I only wore it one day. After coming very close to having our passports and money stolen right from our backpack twice on our last trip to Europe , I was a little paranoid. The fanny pack seemed like the right solution one night in the travel aisle at Target.
Sculpture at Dachau.
Barracks (and the fanny pack).
Ovens.
The start of our 768 step climb at the cathedral in Ulm, Germany.
The view from the top made it all worth it.Tomorrow: Day 2 - Rhine River Cruise and we make it to France!
Your fanny pack is hot!
ReplyDeleteDachau. I would love to talk to you about that. I think it would be...(I can't say fun or exciting. what's a good word for it? interesting? Depressing? Humbling?) to go.
I wore a fanny to Disneyland. It was perfect. I'm sure I was mocked. But I never had to carry a purse, and my video camera, camera, cell phone, and money were always at the ready!
ReplyDeleteSo cool that you guys got to go. I love that pic of you two sleeping at the airport.
ReplyDeleteFanny pack??! *shakes head in despair*
ReplyDeleteSeriously Waiyee, you don't know the half of it! I told her she'd regret wearing it when it appeared in every picture we took. Fortunately she came to her senses after the first day or two and realized her sin.
