This photo is the Matterhorn in Switzerland. No I did not see this, but I was able to see some other great mountainous regions in Lucerne. Sorry, the computer won't allow me to upload photos so I'll have to wait until I'm on a less restricted computer. Moving on... After Oktoberfest we headed to Lucerne to rest and relax for 4 days. It was the most unreal and amazingly beautiful landscape yet! After sleeping in, J and I caught a boat that was headed all the ...

So I'm about a week late writing this blog but last time I wrote it the computer erased it so let's try it again. So, on the 26th and 27th we were in Munich for Oktoberfest. We had a hostel two blocks away from the festivities and when we entered Oktoberfest, my first thoughts and verbalization was "this is my social hell".

He has a sweet place right in the center of where we'd want to be and it's wonderful! Yesterday we spent the afternoon wandering the city and making note of the ridiculously long street names.
