Well, now it seems almost silly to recount our castle adventures that we had during Jerry's R and R visit. It's been over two months since then! Today marks Jerry being thirty-four weeks into his deployment. The end is finally in sight, yet time seems to be dragging by oh so slowly! Rather than going back in time and sharing all the details of our trip, I'll show you some of the castley highlights:
(above and below) Schloss Linderhof...my favorite of King Ludwig's castles (so far...we still have to check out Chiemsee, which is modeled after Versailles).

(above) Hohenschwangau...the parental home of King Ludwig.
(below) The unfinished Neuschwanstein castle...
There was a LOT of steep walking involved to get to this castle!
There is an armed forces resort in Garmisch, which is where we spent a large chunk of R and R (and where we indulged in some
amazing hot stone massages!). From there, we took day trips to the three castles in the pictures as well as a few other sites in the area. In my next entry, I'll share some pictures from the area, including pictures from our gorge walk (one of my favorite outings) and photos from a brief stay in Munich!
My plan is to return to updating the blog regularly, setting aside a little bit of time each weekend. See you next week, if not sooner :-)
