Ludwig's Gorgeous ViewOn a much lighter note Sunday scheduling was to tour Neuschwanstein Castle,it was the inspiration for Disney's Cinderella castle. Ludwig II of Bavaria, known as the dream king, basically isolated himself in the mountains, ordering construction of the huge structure. He also commissioned Robert Wagner to write operas. The castle included a concert hall where Ludwig would have the music performed for him. (and him alone)
The Alpine region of Germany and Austria is beautiful. As we drove home we just had to stop in this valley and enjoy a Sunday walk. Many Germans spend their afternoon outdoors not at the store. Other than restaurants and gas stations stores remain closed. Yes, even the grocery has its lights off!
