My landlord got a new wifi system and now my internet goes in and out, so I haven't posted any blogs lately. Today, I'm going to try to get this post done before the internet goes out again.
Neuschwanstein Castle - My friend from work and I rented a car and went to see Mad King Ludwig's castles - We saw 2 and he has 4 (who knew?). We went right after school and the leaves were just beginning to change and the drive was breathtaking. Everywhere we looked we saw amazing sights!

Walking into
Hohenschwangau Castle |

| Hohenschwangau Castle |
 |
| To end the perfect day of beautiful sights, the sun gave us one more show! |
 |
| Hands down, at night, Hohenschwangau castle is better than the Neuschwanstein castle. |
 |
| This is the view from our hotel. It is pretty, but at night it doesn't even compare to the other one! |
 |
| Good morning sun, alps, and castle! |
 |
| My friend Sam at the entrance of Neuschwanstein castle - who knew it was 2 colors! |
 |
| Gorgeous views from the castle balcony. |
 |
The view from Neuschwanstein Castle! I walked around that lake!
|
 |
Looking toward the 2 castles from the other side of the lake -
we are actually in Austria in this picture! |
 |
| This is the other side of Neuschwanstein castle looking onto the valley. |
 |
| What would a castle blog be without the turret? |
 |
Hohenschwangau castle isn't as pretty as Neuschwanstein during the day.
Neuschwanstein has the advantage also of the Alps for a background. |
The Perfect Hotel and the Perfect Village
 |
| This may be the first May pole I have ever seen! |
 |
This is a little smoke house in the hotel's back yard.
They build a fire in the pit and warm themselves up from the cold winters. |
 |
| This is a map we saw of the Camino. It is a pilgrimage from all over Europe to Santiago de Compostela, Spain. I knew about the trails that went from France to Spain and from Portugal to Spain, but I had no idea there were trails literally ALL over Europe! The one that goes from the U.K. via boat looks like the one for me! |
 |
| Love these frog princes that are everywhere! This one says "Kiss me!" |
|
  Seriously? This is our hotel's back yard. This is fairytale land FOR SURE! |
 |
I thought this was just artistic! I had to try several times to get what I wanted.
It reminds me of a book cover. |
 |
| We saw a sign that said view, so we stopped to see the view! |
Augsburg

I love love love these vines changing color on the sides of buildings!
It is so pretty!!! These pictures do not do it justice! |
 |
| Love the artistic buildings that put color into the city! |
Seriously? This is our hotel's back yard. This is fairytale land FOR SURE!
