Germany Day 6 (Disney Castle)

Compare to yesterday's pictures. Hard to believe.
In front of Edelweiss resort.













Waking up on Day 6 was a wonderful surprise especially to Cameron. SNOW SNOW EVERYWHERE!!!! It must have snowed all night long because there was about a 3 inch coating of snow on the ground. What a beautiful sight. Our room looks onto a courtyard "grassy" area which was covered with a virgin blanket of snow when I got up. When the boys got up, kids had already been playing in it, but it was still beautiful. Our room looks onto the mountain with Auspitz looking down on us, but this morning we couldn't see anything due to the snow storm. As the snow let up, we decided to head off to Neuschwainstein Castle. That is the castle that Walt Disney copied for Disneyland's castles. It was interesting, but we thought that it would be a lot older than it actually was, it is less than 150 years old. I am really having a hard time grasping that Germany is actually a very young country though the areas are very old and rich with history.

Just another comment:
Sometimes snow can be wonderful unless you have to drive in it and shovel before leaving for work then its a pain. How long will you be in Germany?
Love, Patty
