This blog is a little dated due to lack of internet availability in my rooms, more updated posts after, also, forgive the lack of photos, I have a little over 2000, but can't make them upload here:
Today we left our beautiful mansion in Germany for a castle, not the first castle we happened upon, but the second. It was incredible with the ornate carvings and chandeliers filled with precious stones and metals. Even those couldn't compare to the mechanical swans created to swim across a man made lake and sing each morning. There was a waterfall in the back of the castle that had me staring in awe for minutes. Then we crossed the border into Belgium. It DOES exist and it's lovely. The food was amazing, real food instead of bread, ham, cheese and water with bubbles. If I ever see another pastry, it will be too soon. Then we visited a few more cemetaries, placed a few more flags, and saw Waterloo (which was very much a let down). We rode a safari van through a dusty cabbage patch planted on top of the battle field for half an hour before being dropped back off in time to climb a mountian of stairs and see a big metal lion (which was pretty impressive). Then we were politely asked to leave a restaraunt so we ate dinner in Belgium and enjoyed the city. Soon we'll leave Belgium and head for Caen, France. I hope the people are as nice there as they are here.
