The Wilda Family Reunion

Two weeks ago my parents and my brother made the flight from NC and California to have a small bit of my Germany experience. It was like American Blitzkreig x 4! Only not really. So we all hung out in Hamburg for a few days, while they recovered from jet lag. Plus Arun was there. Yay Arun! Then we headed off to my favorite city in Germany, Berlin, just in time for my birthday. I nearly killed my family with all the walking, and then they nearly killed me. My birthday wasn't much of an occasion. I did get a piece of fancy chocolate cake at Lafeyette's.










Also for dinner, I bought myself falafel by everyone's favorite artist colony on Oranienburgerstrasse. I <3 Berlin.




After Berlin we took the night train to Salzburg. There we were surrounded by everything Mozart. I think Salzburg was my favorite, partly because there wasn't alot to do there so we could just wander around. And there's enough city to wander around in.

Then it was back to Germany, in Munich. There I got to drink a beer as big as my face. Also, the waitress at the other Beer Garden we went to gets cool points for speaking to me in German and the rest of my family in English. Near Munich is the Dachau concentration camp. I can't really describe what it's like to visit a concentration camp. Although I'm sure you can imagine it's not a happy day.I'll tell the rest of my story through the animals I met. Here's the cat I met in the Black Forrest.



And here's a snail I met in a castle in the Rhein Valley. I didn't pet the snail though.




Ok, I realize this has been an inadequate post. But I can't bore you with all the details and photos of every single place we went. And there are funny stories, but they're stories they stay better within the family. Like peeing the in English Garden in Munich. So you guys are stuck with the snail.

I'll be back in a month and 3 weeks anyway.
