Had a four day weekend so we decided to hit up Munich for a few days. Which was AWESOME. We did a day trip to Schloss Neuschwanstein (pictures on facebook, go find them) which was probably the coolest thing I've ever done in my life. Our guide was a half-cracked South African dude who may or may not be my new favorite person in the world because he's a magician. Not even kidding. He graduated from the German Academy of Magic. Plus also he leads us on hikes into dangerous icy gorges after scaring more than half the group out of it by pointing out that the chances of us crashing down a mountainside were fairly high (but the waterfall pretty much makes it worth it). Also, King Ludwig II (who built Neuschwanstein) was a crazy dude who built his castle in site of his mom and dad's castle. He was also apparently very gay, and it's funny to ask the (official) castle tour guides because they're not allowed to say that he was. But anyway, the castle is mad amazing and if you're ever in Germany, do it. And go with Brad, so he can almost kill you taking you down a gorge.
Also while in Munich we went to the Hofbrauhaus mostly because it's one of those places you sort of have to go. We sat down next to a couple of italian guys, and a few minutes later some british tourists came by asking if we'd seen a camera. We all said no. They came back a few minutes later and had all of us (plus italian guys) search under the table. Still no camera. Then ten minutes later the police show up, make us all get up, and start searching the italians. We left before they could decide to search us too, but leave us to pick the one table the police are coming to.
As much fun as Munich was, I'm happy to be back in Konstanz. Except now I have to start on my oral presentation for my german class, on some aspect of my country. Everybody else is doing like art and architecture, politics and global warming and stuff. I'm thinking I might do mine on the Jersey Devil, somehow that seems like alot more fun. Tschues!
