Day 9 (Germany)

So I guess it's off to a German theme park.

Day 6 (Southern Alsace)

First, we went to a gingerbread factory, which was pretty sweet.  It was really really really incredibly creepy, though, because there was a small gingerbread museum with like figures of gingerbread men.  It was pretty weird.
Here, take a look:

Then we went to this really cool walled in town.  Yeah, it was a little touristy, but it was still really cool. Basically we ate lunch and wandered around for around an hour and a half.

So, I don't know if you guys know how exciting it is to be able to say "I was in a castle," but it's pretty darn amazing.  Most of the photos go without explanation, 'cause, well, it was a fully restored castle.  I give you, Le château du Haut-Koenigsburg:

It took a little while, but we eventually figured out it was a furnace.

Don't worry, Therese, your camera was safe on like three straps!

That makes me think of Brian Tsang...  BRIAN I MISS YOU!  You hqve NO CRUE!

So then we were SUPPOSED to go to an eagle show, but there was supposedly a storm with code red on it, so they cancelled it.  For some reason no one knows when its supposed to hit.  Anyways, its 8:24 and it's hardly drizzled.  Oup, saw some lighting; and so it begins!!!

They cancelled their ,music festival (which I understand to be an ancient pagan feast to celebrate the solstice, but whatevs)
