We have all spent a great 4 days in Munich with Marina and her family. It has been so lovely that we have all seriously considered moving to Munich. Then we realized that we speak very poor German, and that we cannot stay with the Schwabs for ever, else they get sick and tired of their new American friends. So tonight we are off to the train station yet again to catch a night train to Paris. So let´s update you on the Munich leg of our trip.
Yesterday we were off to Dachau to see the concentration camp and the memorial sight there. It was an amazing experience that none of us are soon to forget. We arranged for a tour of the site, and the tour guide spoke great English. It was wonderful to hear the story of the camp, what it was originally intended for and how it turned out over the course of WWII.
On the way back Brandon, Duane and Marina stopped over at a corn maze, while Tim and Michelle went to the grocery store. We all met up at the Schwab house for some amazing BBQ. The highlights were seeing how Germans start their BBQs. Their coal is not fast acting, or at least the coal we had, so there were some starter logs involved and then, the piece de resistance, a haridryer. Yes a hairdryer to push the air into the coals. The BBQ was enjoyed by all and we had great conversation over candlelight in the back yard garden.
Today we spent the day touring the rest of Munich and picking up some gifts for our loved ones. All in all it was a restful and relaxing day.
Well, we will need to regail you with more stories once we get to France. We are off to catch a train. Running as always!

I am so glad that you guys have been able to relax a little. I'm sure it was long overdue with all you have been accomplishing. I am dying to find out if all the yummy food there has caused the pants to fit a little tighter or if all the crazy running around is balancing everything out. Will you please describe some of the food that you think is really exceptional? You know me, forgot about the art and history, I'm all about the FOOD!!! I love you and I can't wait to see pictures.
