Wittelbach Residenz

Today we toured a huge, and I seriously mean huge, palace in the center of the old city of Munich. It was the palace of the kings and dukes of Munich when Bavaria was a state itself.   It was very cool to see the decorations of the rooms from the different time periods like the Renaissance and Baroque.  If it's not Baroque, don't fix it!  Ha, sorry.  Anyway, wasn't able to take any photos because it had to be without flash and I didn't want to bother with it.  All you need to know is that it had lots of paintings, exorbitant amounts of gold garnishing, and lots of marble, silver, and gold furniture.  Pretty stuff!  And, there were 10 courtyards in total.  After we were done with that we split up and just went around the city again but in daylight so we could see all the cool stuff there was to see.  We found a Starbuck's; it's true that they are taking over the world.  Tomorrow we are going to the Dachau Concentration camp.  This will be the first explicitly concentration camp that we have been to.  The first was just a transport place and the second was labor.  This one, I fear, will be much worse.  You never can really wrap your head around the whole idea of gassing someone to death until you've stood in a gas chamber where people have died.  Eerie sensation to be under the shower heads that released the gas.  Until next time...
