On Saturday we took a school trip to Schloss Neuschwanstein, which is the castle that the Disney castle was inspired by. It is settled right in the mountains and we got to hike up to and then around the area. We spent the morning hiking and hanging out in the little tourist-trap-of-a-town that lies in the valley below. After the castle we took a ten minute bus ride to the summer rodelbahn, a.k.a. a summer bobsled. It was so sweet. You sit on this little sled type thing and then get on a conveyor belt that pulls you to the top of the curvy course and then you fly down. It is build like a bobsled track in that the sides are built up so you build momentum on the turns. It was such a fun and crazy experience. (I didn't get any good photos that really show what the course was like but here is one in which I tried)
After I rode the rodelbahn I was just sitting in this big field at the base of the mountains with the castle in the distance and para-gliders jumping off the mountain behind me....it was pretty surreal. But then again, I feel like that most days that I am here!

Schloss Neuschwanstein...sounds like delicious ice cream.
You saw, with your own eyes, the castle, that is on a poster in every German class in the States. Sweet!
