Today was both exciting and deppressing. On top of our usual trips to a beer hall and walking we went to Dracheu which was the biggest concentration camp made. I don't know if I could ever express what it felt like to be there. The train stop that we got off was the same station that all other prisoners got off and we walked the same route as they did. We were goin to go to a movie at the memorial meuseum but we had had enough by the time the showing was. There's nothing else I can say besides how horrific of an event this was and how unimaginable it was.
Tomorrow we are going to Salzburg for the day so get excited for that post!
As far as the food... We've been eating a lot meat, beer (which can be purchased by the liter), and lots of pretzles.
Also, we'd like to mention how great or bags have been already. So thanks to Cathy (mother in law) and Ali (great friend) for helping us with that.

Sounds like it has been as good as you were planning!
Great reading about your adventures, almost like reading a good adventure story; except that it's all real.
Your blog has been great, and helps me feel like we are still connected.
Thanks for the lovely thank you note; it meant a lot to me.
Love you both very much,
be safe and happy,
Pat
Wonderful reporting--can only imagine how you felt at the same train station in Germany--remembering how I felt just at the Holocaust Museum.
Pretzels and beer--now that sounds like a diet I would love!
Salzberg--ah--magical. What amazing travels, adventures, memories in the making....Much Love, AL&UB
