Our blog is meant to document our trip through Europe during the summer of 2010 as we make our way towards Australia for a year's sabbatical. It's an attempt to stay in touch with family and friends, to avoid Facebook, to remember our experiences, and to facilitate mild home schooling for the children.

Schlossing in Bavaria
Took in King Ludwig's pads (top one, a 19th c rebuild on medieval ruins; the other a 19-c. attempt to out-do all other castles and inspire Walt Disney)--and his obsession with the Middle Ages and Wagnerian Opera. Autumn is in the air--the trees are changing but the flowers are still blooming. Ended the day in Salzburg, Austria where we hope to learn something about Mozart and sing "Do Re Mi". Passing the mountain of Hitler's Eagle's Nest raised the hairs on the back of my neck.
