Our last stops on our trip included Munich, Germany and Prague, Czech Republic. We stayed just a day in Germany, but were able to go to the center square and see this beautiful building where the famous clock does a daily "performance".
We also went up to tour the bell tower, which was fun to get such a great view of the city.
We then went to Dachau the next day, one of the major concentration camps in WWII. It was quite a sobering experience to think about everything that went on there and to learn about their living conditions and what the Jews went through. It's something I've read about many times, but to actually be where some of that had taken place was both interesting and humbling.
They would board thousands of Jews in each of the barracks as the war went on. So much overcrowding. No mattresses or anything.
This was the roll call area. I'm glad to have gone, but it's so sad to really think about what happened there, and what people do when the wrong people get into power.
After visiting Dachau, it was off on one last train ride to Prague. It was our longest ride, but also the nicest! We got a private suite on the train all to ourselves! It was nice and relaxing and we got to admire a lot of terrain along the train ride. Prague is a beautiful city. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.
We visited a Salvador Dali museum. It was fun for me to see some of his artwork because I studied his work in high school Spanish class, but, I do have to admit, he was one weird dude!
Famous bridge.
Gorgeous city.
Main castle and biggest attraction in Prague. It is a HUGE castle-so much walking, but really cool to see.
We visited the armory, so I took a picture with this guy. Haha.
Had some delicious hot chocolate and some traditional goulash.
We actually took the stairs to the top of this tower to overlook the city. It was a lot of stairs, especially after the lots of walking it took us to get to the tower!
We were trying to figure out this street sign...no dogs on leashes?!
So, this was like a BBQ'ed cinnamon roll-it was baked on the street over fire and coals. And it was delicious.
Europe was so much fun!! We were ready to come home, but we can't wait to go back again and visit some new places and see family again!
