Prague, Regensburg, and Dachau












We have a lot of catching up to do, and it seems like a lot of new stories to tell! First lets start with Prague. We had a very good time and got to see lots of old historical buildings, however it is a definite tourist spot. Lots of people and very overwhelming! I dont know if we mentioned it but we got to visit the famous castle, and we went to the Jewish quarter, and the Jewish cemetary. Our last night we did get to go to black light theatre which was so awesome! It was a mix of blacklight dancing and comedy which was all nonverbal. We were glad to be moving on to Germany......
Happy Birthday Casey!(and John) Turn the volume up, love you and miss you!
As for Germany, we love it! Coming from Prague we felt so at ease here in Regensburg, a small city on the River, and we are staying here for two more days. The first day we immediately ate the famous bratwurst...sooooo good! We enjoyed walking around the city and soaking up the sun! We went to a german beer garden, where a nice german man welcomed us into Germany by paying for our bill!! We went into the cathedral in town, which was free! Later we laid in the park with all of the local young people and Andy even got to go slack lining! Today we woke up and headed to the train station to go to Dachau to see the famous concentration camp. Emotional, and tiring day but well worth it! It was so amazing to see how people were treated just under 70 years ago. It was hard to see the gas chambers and barracks. Now we are back into Regensburg and are hoping for sun tomorrow before we head to Salzburg Austria on Tuesday. We are going to go enjoy another Bratwurst or two (Andys hoping for six) for all of you at home!!!! :) Take care, love to all! Thanks for keeping up with our adventure!

  4. Hi you two. It sounds like a great trip so far. I love living vicariously through your blogs. The video was hilarious! Kelsey, it reminded me of puppet shows that you, Kaylee and Cory put on for us in Southern California. Enjoy every moment of your adventure.

That video was so cool, i wish i had skills to do that. well done Andy with the slacklining, did you make some hippie slacklining friends there in Germany? It looks like you guys need to simmer down on those bratwursts. I two are in my thoughts and prayers.
