| Neuschwanstein |
For Josh's belated birthday trip, we traveled south towards the German/Austrian border for an autumn weekend among castles and the Alps. This might as well have been a trip for me since I'd been
dying to see the Schloss Neuschwanstein ever since my mom sent me a postcard from this Disney princess-like wonderland fifteen years ago. It did not disappoint.
We stayed in a great hotel at the base of the Schloss Hohenschwangau for the first weekend of November and spent a lovely Saturday touring both castles.

| Super scary bridge that we walked on, but we were rewarded for overcoming height-related fears with awesome views of the castle. |

I have missed seeing mountains all the time. It's pretty flat where we live. There is a "hill" in Nuremberg, but it's no Mt Hood rising dramatically from sea level to 11,000 ft. So getting to be around mountains in addition the castle viewing frenzy made me very happy.
Sigh. I'm ready to go back.
