Switzerland Here I Come!

I am in Munich right now. And, no, I haven't been ice skating, if anyone was wondering. Why do distasters always happen near places where I am traveling?

I went to the famous Neuschwanstein castle today -- it was magnificant! Even though you couldnt really see the outside of it because of heavy snow, the inside was very very beautiful. Most impressive was the artwork on the walls, themed after Richard Wagner's operas, which were a favorite of King Ludwig. Definitely worth the long cold hill climb. Everyone there was American or Korean as well :)

So, I just finished my dinner. That Baklava sure was delicious. I have to catch a train to Zurich in 20 minutes. Wish me "bon voyage"! Also, I want to say a belated Happy New Year to everyone!

  • Yesterday on npr I heard about that roof collapse in bavaria--and decided I did need to look at your blog to see when was the last time you posted!

    Have an awesome time in Switzerland! It was my favorite country--even if its expensive, do something neato :) because you'll never regret it.

    I like Wagner's music... I used to think it was pronounced Wag-ner, but nope! Vaug-ner :) Valkerie was one of his pieces--and of course Hitler was a huge fan because the dude was German-born, but in spite of it all, Wagner is still cool.

    I'm at the public library in Olympia, so I only have two minutes left, just wanted to wish you a merry time in Swiss land!
