Yes, I've been a slack blogger this week, but only because we've been so busy with Derek and Andrea here.

We've trekked all over the place, visited the Munich sights (Rathaus, Engl Gdn, etc), including Nymphenburg Palace, which I hadn't seen before. It was beautiful inside and had a very cool carriage and sleigh collection. Unfortunately they didn't let us take pictures inside the palace. So, you'll just have to take my word that it was beautiful. We also went to the Olympic Park - neat architecture.

Then over the weekend, we visited Hohenschwangau and Neuschwanstein Castles, which are about an hour and a half south of Munich. They were built by the Bavarian royalty during the 1800s and were both beautiful. The countryside in the area was gorgeous, especially with the fall colors! After 5 hours of touring and hiking, we stopped for dinner at a small town on the way home and unintentionally found a nice little Greek restaraunt. Then it was back in the car for the trip back to the city.

Great times were had by all :)
