outside my comfort zone (other than food!) Viewing
the artifacts and photographs of that horrible place
really drove home again how dangerous extremism
really is. I think some of the a-holes spouting off on
TV and radio, trying to work people into a frenzy
could really do with a dose of this kind of eye-
opening. I don't know if it would help, but it sure
couldn't hurt!
Ok, I'm getting off the soapbox now. Our guide
Stephanie really shone today...one of our activities
for tomorrow was to ride a luge down a part of the
I wasn't hurt at all, got back on and finished the run.
I then immediately got back in line for another ride,
and by the fourth time down, successfully completed
the run without touching the brake at all. I would
have gone again, but the ride tickets were all used up. And no, I wasn't the only adrenaline junkie...there were several of us all geeked up and ready to keep riding!
Following that adventure, we drove another half hour or so and checked into our hotel for the night. It's a really nice place and they served us a great dinner. If you can't tell by the pictures, our group is really starting to come together. Everybody seems to be having as good a time as I am, and we all tend to be looking out for one another. A very nice group of people to travel with...I think I hit jackpot on this escapade!
Tomorrow is castle day. We go to see 2 of Ludwig's castles, one of which is the inspiration for the Disney castle. I have been looking forward to getting shots of these castles since the planning stages, so I hope the weather cooperates. That's all for now. See ya later friends!
PS. I just previewed this post and have no idea why it's formatting the way it is, but I've been at this stupid thing for an hour or more. The heck with it, I'm posting it the way it is now...sorry about that folks.
The luge sounds like an extreme sport, sounds like a great time, I am enjoying your blog a great deal. I'm not much for travelling but I think I would like the trip your experiencing. Thanks for sharing.
