Copenhagen was great - especially the danishes. Biking through town and the cool architecture were the highlights for me.
We stayed in Berlin for two nights, but only travelled around the city for a couple of hours. I was starting to get sick, so the tourism was short lived. The highlight of that was Checkpoint Charlie, where so much history with the Berlin wall happened. Actually kind of sobering to be there.
Prague was beautiful. The train ride in was along this river which was stunningly gorgeous. Im constantly amazed at the beautiful world that the Lord has created. In Prague, we ran into my robotics professor from Cal Poly! Small world indeed.
By far the most beautiful place I have been yet was in Berchtesgaden, Germany. In the very southern part, its actually a national park, and its beauty rivals that of the Sierras. See the pictures! A hike to the Klausteinhaus or Hitler's Eagles Nest was my favorite. Stunningly beautiful. The picture doesnt even come close to describing it. And it was in between two very rainy days.. the Lord is good! We camped there and had a great time.. Thanks Grampy for the recommendation!
I am writing this post from Salzburg just before heading out to Munich. I have a train in an hour or so. Tomorrow Brian and I are planning on visiting the famous castle outside of Füssen, Germany. In a few days we are meeting my good friend Lucas in Paris and starting our adventures of backpacking the Swiss Alps!
Other than being a little sick and having my knees hurt, I have been able to stay quite healthy and I praise the Lord for that. More to come. Thanks for your faithful prayers.

Hi Austin,
So good to chat with you the other day. Boy do we miss you.
These pictures are breathtaking, and I'm sure they hardly even begin to capture the majesty of it all. You're in your element, no doubt.
Happy Birthday, son. Hope you enjoyed your special day. Please click onto our blog for a birthday wish (post) from me (us).
Can't wait to hear from you the next time you're able to ring.
Love you,
Dad
