I'm still alive!!!

A Quick Update:
Tuesday:Arrived in Dusseldorf. Figured out how to work a German ATM. Caught a train to Köln. Walked around a little bit. We were really tired.

Caught a train to Frankfurt. Transferred to Darmstadt. Transferred to Wiesbaden. Went to Ashley's friend Theresa's house. Tried to go to the Spargel Festival but it was cancelled because of rain. Walked around and ate a real German hamburger. Went to bed early.
Wednesday:Took a train to Munich. Learned 2 very important German phrases: Sprecken ze english? and Schoklat Croissant. Went to the English Gardens-beautiful.




Ate at a traditional Biergarten-I don't think some of it was real meat.
Ran into the missionaries. Spent a night at a nice hotel because we couldn't find anything cheap.
Thursday:Took a few trains to the Neuschwanstien Castle-the one the Disneyland castle was made to look like. Learned that King Ludwig was a freak.


Came back to Munich. Spent some quality time in the internet cafe trying to book places to stay for the rest of our trip so that we don't have to keep paying tons for nice hotels. Tonight we're taking a night train to Florence.
Having a blast. I'll post more when I can. Love You!

No, we actually didn't book any of the hostels until we got here. Last time Ashley came there weren't so many tourists, but there are tons now. No worries, though, we now have reservations for all of the cities.
