Today is my cute host brother's 20th birthday. Happy birthday Daniel! Last night I went out with him and his 3 friends for his birthday. It was pretty fun... We were at a pub just hanging out and talking for a while. They were attempting to include me in the conversation by translating into english when I didnt understand, which made me feel more comfortable with them. It is hard for me to get used to and get to know people when they dont try to speak a little english for me because I dont understand most things that they talk about. Daniel and I didnt get home until almost 1:00am. That was not a good choice because we had to wake up pretty early this morning. Today we went to a castle called Neuschwanstein. It was really pretty as you can see in the pictures below... We also went to another castle called Hohenschwangau. We had to walk in the cold from castle to castle, up and down hills, pretty much all day. My host parents' friends and kids also came with, and they are a pretty entertaining family so it was interesting, haha. You will see pictures below of Marienbrucke, which is a really high bridge in between the two castles. You could have read about the bridge in one of the pictures, because they had an English translation to the sign. But on the blog the picture is too small to read. Enjoy the pics! Oh and by the way, I am not sure what these mountains are called... oh well.
PRETTY SCENERY

I heard a story about the young king that built these castles and how he died. Do you know the story?
Lucky girl. Cute host brother. Visiting castles. lol. I am sure the view was breathtaking. At your age, I was not so interested in history...but it's grown on me somehow. Not the boring date stuff, but the interesting stories and cultures.
Grandpa P. says the mountains are the Bavarian Alps. These castles were built by a really extravagant young king who supposedly went crazy. They found him dead in the lake at the age of 22, suicide or murder? no one knows.
hey Mug, the scenery is breathtaking, but I don't think Iwould have had the nerve to go across that bride, it looks worse than the one that you would not cross in Colorado with me and Aunt Donna.You've come a long way baby!
