Du hasst mich...



3 November 2007
The drive home was long and tedious. We had a few stops, including Rheims, France. I attended another French Catholic mass because the cathedral choir sang so beautifully. Then, I ate a Snickers Bar and the cheese and croissants that I’d stolen from the hotel. We went to the Champagne caves and I learned about the delicate process that every little bottle undergoes, and the expensiveness all made sense to me. We were each allowed a glass, and it was quite tastey!
There was a lot of driving through mountains and fields, but I slept a great deal.
Today, however, we visited Neuschwanstein Castle—and it did indeed look like something out of a fairytale. I hiked up the mountain beyond the castle and it was gorgeous! I decided that I will go hiking in these here Alps, sooner or later! It was my only experience of Germany, but it is funny to note that Rammstein was playing in the ibis, where I ate lunch. Now, I am safely and happily in Salzburg and it is my mom’s birthday. I will now call her before fixing myself some dinner!
