Munich, Germany

Guten tag! As many of you know, the week of November 30 to December 2 I traveled to Munich Germany with my friends Hannah, Maddie, Cara, Kendra and Kathy. Out of all of our trips so far, this was was the most relaxing. It was nice to move at a slower, less touristy pace and just enjoy the change of scenery and culture!

We arrived on Friday, November 2 early in the morning! We were exhausted, but that didn't stop us from walking around all of the beautiful and authentic Christmas Markets, and of course, we had to find the nearest Starbucks! Along with these leisurely activities, we also ate some amazing German food! I tried Spaetzel, which is like German gnocchi with cheese and onion. It was to die for! I also had some amazing German beer! If there is one thing I love about traveling, it's trying all of the amazing food each different country has to offer!

On Saturday, the girls and I woke up early and set out to Nordschwanstein to see the beautiful castle belonging to King Ludwig. Nordschwanstein was such a cute little town that sat right on Swan Lake. The girls and I walked up the mountain to see the castle, which was the inspiration of the castle in Sleeping Beauty. It was definitely a great experience!
