We took a 6 hour train and bus ride to get to our chalet. We then had to walk 20 minutes up the mountain to get to the actual Chalet. The walk wasn’t too bad as the view is quite nice wherever you are. The stars are also really vibrant and the staff and welcoming.

Today we headed to a castle and a cheese farm. We took a van and went on the autobahn and went up to 150! We then headed to two churches that were both exquisite. The mountains around Munich are so beautiful. After the churches we went to a cheese farm and ate cheese and meat and got to pet goats and rabbits. Then we headed to the castle! The tour was short as it was an incomplete castle before the king died but the sight of is was amazing. On the way back we stopped in a field for more pictures and the police came and talked to the tour guides but everything was okay. This was one of the best days yet!

I know I have skipped a day but I will upload it tomorrow!! Monday was the sound of music tour! We thought it was a bus but it was actually a rickshaw, which is a where they push you around on a bike. It was so fun and a beautiful way to see the city. We went and visited some historic buildings and visited different places where the movie was filmed. A lot of it is “movie magic” to make it seem really fancy. I drank some minyan water from a little well in the city. The tour was great and they drivers were really nice. Tomorrow we are off to Switzerland so it won’t be too busy. We love and miss everyone!

We have been using imessage to keep up to date with the girls this week when they have wifi at the end of the day. They set it up so All 5 of us can be in the group chat. Today Claudia gave us a quick update.
Yesterday we FaceTime’d with them.
One of Claudia’s Instagram posts from this week.
One of the leaders has been posting to Instagram photos of the girls on the trip, here are some of the photos. Touring the Berlin Wall.

Today we went to a concentration camp on the outskirts of Munich. The experience was incredible. We got an audio tour to guide us through the concentration camp. They were able to exhibit the way of life at the camp and the extreme horrors that the prisoners experienced. The camp was fairly large. The most interesting part of the camp was the crematorium section and the museum part. Afterwards we went to a market and then had some free time. I will do another post with more pictures!

Today we travelled to Munich by train and then we took a historic walk through Munich. The tour guide (and his cute son) was funny and gave us a euro that we passed around if we got a question right. I think overall I got 7 questions right but Tiffany won the euro in the end. I got great pictures of a golden church and downtown Munich is beautiful. Tomorrow we head to the concentration camp!
Hope all is well!

The girls have been posting some photos to Instagram.
Today we went to the Berlin Wall Memorial. It was very cool to see the different walls that were up. It looks incredibly hard to try to escape that. I lifted Claud up for her to get a picture over the wall. I then realized I could see it from the memorial building. Some of 137 people killed were children. The memorial building told of the different accounts from people who successfully and unsuccessfully escaped over the wall. I bought an “authentic” piece of the wall but who knows if it actually is, it will remind me of it though which is the point! We also went to downtown Frankfurt to check out the city. It rained today so I will include some pictures of Claud and I in our rain ponchos, as well as some photos of the train station.
