We are now in Prague! My mom is coming tomorrow and I can't wait. Our hotel here is really nice with free WiFi and lifetime tv. The past few days I have been in Austria and Germany. I like.German food.so.much more than all the others ( mainly because they have hamburgers, doughnuts and other things I reconize) I was surprised at how breathtakingly beautiful they are. I often felt like I was in a movie. The mountains just make everything 7 times more beautiful. Yesterday we went to a castle! I can't remember the name of it but it is the one Disney modeled Cinderellas castle after. It is absolutely gorgeous. It is also swan themed so there are swans in every room so obviously it was.meant for me. The princess finally found her castle ;) after that we went to one of the very first concentration camps. It was something I am glad I got to see but it was just so heart breaking. Although it had been sunny all day as soon as we got there it started to rain. I was overwhelmed by the emotion of being there. As I walked alone through the camp in complete silence there was such an eerie feeling. I know the stories but it makes it so much more real just being there. We walked through the exact gate every one of the people.who.died there had to walk through. I can't explain really... I'll have to share pictures and more stories lately. As I get ready for bed I am so thankful for this opportunity. I am so proud to be an American. I am missing my house and my family and Anthony but I know being here is teaching me so much about myself and the world. I am making friends that I already love and cherish. In ways it is flying by and in ways it is dragging on... I can't believe I'm more than half way!! Love and miss you all!
