Germany was one of the most memorable parts of our trip. We visited the Glockenspiel and shopped around for some yummy treats at the biggest farmers market I've ever seen.

The rest of this day we didn't take too many pictures because we went to Dachau concentration camp, and it was too sad to take pictures.

The next day was....well....very eventful to say the least. The first half of the day we explored King Ludwig's 2 castles, one of which is the castle that Walt Disney based his castle at Disney Land on.

After we left the castles is when our trip got pretty crazy. It's about 4:30 and we're making our way down out of the mountain, and Johnny Cash is on the radio. Preston starts asking Marilyn if she likes him and other questions, no response. Which is not unusual, sometimes she doesn't, and Grandma already fell asleep, so we didn't think too much of it. Preston asked her a couple more about a different song that had come on, and I had noticed she had made a few weird noises. I had the very strong impression to turn around to see if she was alright, and she was having a full blown seizure. Scariest thing I have ever seen in my life. So I yelled she's having a seizure, pull over!! She had bitten her tongue so hard that blood was running out of her mouth onto her shirt. We flagged down a car and this nice man drove us about 5 minutes away to the hospital in Fussen. The doctors were great, and very personable. They kept her overnight for observation and said we could come back the next morning. So we went home to our hotel (an hour away in Garmisch) and returned in the am only to find out she won't be released until late afternoon. Well there's not too much to do in Fussen, so we rented some bikes and went for a scenic bike ride.

Well the trails were not marked off well, and we had been riding for a really long time and storm was about to blow in, and Grandma was getting super tired. So Preston took his shoelaces off and he tied it their bikes so he could pull her along, She was laughing and having a blast and it worked for a while. For awhile. Preston made a turn and Grandma's tire rubbed against Preston's tire and she wiped out. On the Concrete. She was very lucky to not hurt her head because we were not wearing helmets ( lesson learned) but she had a pretty good size scrape on every limb of her body, a hematoma on her leg and later found out she had broken her left wrist. So we had a nice man, who didn't speak any English, drive us to the hospital, were Marilyn was waiting for us as she had been released. So we checked Grandma in to have her checked out and had just barely checked Marilyn out of the same hospital. You just can't make this up! I did take a picture of the 2 of them in the hospital but Grandma's camera isn't compatible with my computer. They were cute and gave us their most pitiful face for it though.
We're off to Switzerland, which is supposed to be all high adventure, so wish us luck!
