So, we took a ride out into the country and found that it had been snowing in the Elevation. We were on our way to Castle Neuschwanstein. The was a Castle built by King Ludvig II in the mid 1800's. We could not have asked for a more beautiful day to view a Castle on the outskirts of the Alps. The sun was partially out, all the trees were covered in a fresh layer of snow. It was just clear enough to see to the Castle. The castle we tours is believed to be the model for Cinderellas castle at Disney. The other castle in the Album is King Ludwig's Parents castle. Ludvig decided to build his own more Roman Gothic castle in the mountain across form where he grew up. Isn't that like all kids. :)
We took a tour of the extravagantly laid out interior but were not able to get any pictures due to some copy writing law. The castle was never finished because Ludvig dies before the completion. Even so the rooms that were finished were pretty Dramatic.
We made the journey back to Drew and Annie's and we treated ourselves to and light dinner of Abends brot (Small Dinner Sandwiches). Now time to get some sleep. Tomorrow is a Free day foreveryone!
