"Travel is very broadening."

Standing at the top of the church where Martin Luther nailed the 95 Theses
View from the top! Wittenburg was a lovely place! Delicious potato salad!
Resting place of Martin Luther
Monastery which was converted into a home for Martin Luther and his family
Remains of the Berlin Wall
Holocaust Memorial



Checkpoint Charlie Area

Fredricksburg Castle in Denmark
Most of Carl Bloch's paintings are kept here. It was amazing to see them in person!



Copenhagen Temple
Munich- I loved it!
Some spatzal, apple juice, and crazy drunks- definitely a night of fun!
Some man tried to pay me to dance with him.





Mad King Ludwig built this castle. He died in the lake under "mysterious" circumstances.


I am trying hard to smile in this picture because I was on a bridge. It wasn't very stable and people kept trying to pretend push me off. I didn't think it was very funny.
Switzerland- gorgeous!
The second clock that was slightly disappointing!

More steps up to the top of the church!
We affectionately started calling all stairs "THE STAIRS OF DEATH"

Reformers wall




* Sorry there are so many pictures!

When Mother was Sick...

If I was famous...

I may or may not of said these things in the last hour-

"Tanner, I really need you on the Bongo drums!"

AND

"Famous guitar players don't wear large coins around their necks!"

These Are A Few Of My FAVORITE Things

Austria- it has my vote as the prettiest place I visited!



Proudly sporting my Y of I colors

I love the yellow house!
My cute little snail friend. I think I named him Fred but they wouldn't let me keep him.


The Salt Mines!We dressed in these white suits to slide down these wooden slides! Sounds weird but was totally awesome!

There was an underground lake, a creepy video, and ceilings low enough to make you glad you weren't a giant.

And Yes, I make the same face in EVERY picture.

The Eagle's Nest


This is the view but it is blocked by the clouds!





The Sound of Music Gazebo. Much smaller in real life. Now I can see how Lisel leaped across the benches- even in high heels.


More Sound Of Music places. If you have seen it, you will recognize it!
We are cool in our VANS!






The cemetary that they may have filmed for the Sound of Music. Maybe. Everyone was kind of unclear on that point.

I think this was before all 50 of us held hands, skipping around the fountain sing "Do-Re-Mi" at the top of our lungs. Crazy Americans.





Cute little dwarf/gnome things. This would also be before we talked to the crazy drunk man who kept insisting that we spoke German.


Me looking thoughtful.
Mauthausen. A sobering experience.
Czech Republic! Prague! I loved Prague!
287 steps to the top of this tower.
In KFC. Everyone else had these sick chicken sandwiches from a vendor that made them sick. I even felt bad for not eating something local.


The first disappointment of a clock. I have no words to describe it.



Making another wish(I think it is the patron saint of Prague). I made a lot of wishes on this trip








The Stairs of Death!! The concert at the tops was worth it!
