Never Again

This morning is one of the most difficult. The pre-show didn't help. There are at least 4 large travel groups staying at this hotel. Our director booked us the early breakfast time so we could be efficient and get out of the hotel ASAP. When we showed up all the groups came at once and the line was huge. Our kids were great and ate fast. Everyone was to the bus on time!

Christiane gave us a lot of  information about the camp as we drove to Dachau. On arrival we picked up maps and audio guides and headed in. Everyone was given a few hours to explore and experience the camp on their own. It was a very somber, yet eye opening experience. We were able to see how the prisoners lived and the horrible conditions they were put through. It's amazing that people try to say it never happened. Even some of the people in the city around the camp denied anything happened, even after the camp was liberated.









After some free time in the historic Munich town center, we raced over to the BMW Museum. We had some entertaining and interesting tour guides. They taught us the history and making of the cars in a quick manner. We were able to mosey on over to the BMW Welt after the tours. There we were able to see more models of cars and even sit in some!

Then came dinner. Some of the kids said it was the best dinner yet. They served us large portions so it was the first time some of the boys have been completely full. We loved watching the Italy v. Costa Rica soccer on a big screen while we ate. We're just glad our Italian bus driver isn't much into 'football' or we'd have some worries today!
