“Mom! I
want to go in Sleeping Beauty’s castle!” That is what you say when you are in Disneyland.
Well, I went in the “real” castle today in Germany. The castle’s name was
Neuschwanstein. It is a castle in the Alps. I couldn’t believe the castle was
so big. Disney used this castle as a model for Sleeping Beauty’s castle in
California.

While at
the castle I learned that Bavaria’s King Ludwig started to build the castle in
1869 and had been working on it for 17 years when he died and they stopped the
construction. They didn’t completely finish the inside of the castle because of
his death, but it is still really cool. Now it is a big tourist attraction in
Germany. To get there, we hiked straight up a big mountain, although some
people took a bus. This was the first
“real” castle I’ve ever been in. What a great
day!
Geez Kati...very cool. Benjamin was talking about you visiting the castle all day yesterday. We went and watched the Gamecocks beat Furman in baseball 7-0.
