No one takes photos of things they want to forget

Neuschwanstein Schloss

I’d been obsessing over this castle since middle school, when I drew it for one of my art projects in… seventh(?) grade. When I found out I’d actually be touring it, I was incredibly excited. It’s a beautiful castle. I’ll never forget the King’s bedroom. His bed with ornate wood carvings, the swans situated around the room, the rich curtain fabrics… Absolutely gorgeous. I’d go back, just to see the bedroom and the mosaic tiles of the throne room.

We weren’t allowed to take photos on the tour, but believe you me, if you ever see the buildings in this castle, you won’t ever forget them.

Hillside Homes

This was the view outside my friend Eric’s hotel room while we stayed in Switzerland. Separating what you see here in the photo and our hotel is the Sarnensee, or Lake Sarnen. I had a cute view myself, of the houses and the Alps behind us.

I had the best vegetable soup at this hotel and a delicious fruit drink. One night our German teacher, Frau P, bought beer for Maureen, Amber, and I. We had a fun time talking outside the hotel for a few minutes before dinner was served. I think I’ll stay at this hotel again if I go back.
