I should start by warning that this post is super image-heavy. On Wednesday our program took a field trip into the Bavarian Alps to visit a bunch of castles and churches. Unfortunately, it rained all day (it was the only terrible weather we've had in the last three weeks.) Nonetheless, the adventure was amazing! 

The Wieskirche

Crazy "Barock" murals and intricate molding




A sun dial. Notice how all of the molding is an illusion!


Neuschwanstein with a raindrop..


Neuschwanstein with scaffolding!
The bridge
from which this photo was taken!





der Schwan of Neuschwanstein

Linderhof (another of Ludwig's castles)


My camera died just as we got into the Venus Grotto, so I can't really claim to have done it any justice. It is much more ridiculous than these pictures indicate. It's the largest man-made grotto in all of Europe, inspired by Wagner's "Tannhäuser."
