Denmark:
We were there a few extra days due to my back, which is getting better slowly, but some days are better than others.
There is a photo of the Jorgensens who we stayed with in Denmark, who are ex LIFE (CLCA'ers really) family. They were so good to us and when we showed them some of the WR DVD's we did, and the RAK day DVD, they were in tears they really miss our church, and seeing faces they knew, but they are doing a great job up here.
Berlin:
We only went out the night we arrived, but it was worth it. You will see 2 photos, one of the Brandenberg Gate, ad the other is the Reich-stag (Parliament).
Prague:
Hmmmm, a little disappointed after all that we had heard about this place. It was pretty dirty, all the shops the same stuff in them, very "Touristy", and outside of Prague Castle, they re not really kept in great condition. Our hotel room rocked and it was cheap, and food was great.
Dachau (Munich):
This is the first and was the "model" of all Nazi concentration camps. The SS training camp was directly opposite, and as they developed their Death squads, and torture techniques, they tried them out there first. They also did all they "scientific" experiments and so called medical research on the sick and weak who could no longer work, most of whom died from the horrific things done to them.
As we walked through the main building where areas of torture, the instruments they used were on display, the photos, footage ad testimony of the atrocities done there, it is beyond words, it is just something that moves your soul, and turns your stomach. Standing in the main yard where the roll calls took place you can still sense the hell that they went through. I took the photos there, in 0 degrees and a heavy fog, which is what they lived in for so may days of the year.
Now in Salzburg, photos to come. The hills are alive..............with the sound of music!
