So this picture is totally of the actual Swan Lake that the movies, books and ballets are based off of! Isnt that beautiful?!!!!! I was in love! Look at those trees!!!! We seriously are here at the best time of year. There was a man on the shore of this lake and he was feeding swans from his hand! So beautiful.
Here is the Neuschwanstein castle right next to swan lake. It is the castle that disney used as its model for the disneyland castle. So cool. We got to tour it and it was awesome. I felt like i was about to get on a ride. I couldnt believe that it actually looked like that inside!
We went over to a bridge to get a good view. It was kind of sad and disappointing cause the back of the castle was under repair and was covered in scaffolding (sp?) but it was still beautiful.

Here I am in Venice! So gorgeous! I loved it and it is just the way I have always imagined it to be!
We met some Germans in Leiderhosen the other day. Quite hilarious but its a long story. Ask me about it when i get home!
Me with one of the gnome statues that the kids in the Sound of Music run around.

Europe so far.....

Hey everybody!!!
I just thought I'd get on here quick and let you all know that I am doing great! Europe is amazing and I am totally in love with it. I'm not in a place where I can upload pictures but if I get a chance I promise I will!
We have been to Italy, Austria and are now in the Czech Republic. We are going to Germany tomorrow.
So far venice and Salzburg have been my favorite stops. Venice is everything that I have ever imagined it to be! It was so beautiful and romantic- I loved it and was totally happy exploring the islands. We went on a gondola ride and it was gorgeous.
Salzburg is the place where Sound of Music was filmed. We got to go on a Sound of Music tour where we saw most of the places from the movie including the gazebo and house and lake. Austria is the most beautiful place I have ever seen. As we drove through the Alps it was breathtaking to see how green and gorgeous it was. I love love LOVE Europe!!!! I can't wait until I can upload pictures of it all! Love you all and miss you!
