We had to get up really early because we thought we were catching a bus to Neuschwanstein, but the subway was and the trains had electrical problems. Jacob got left behind at the beginning, then half of us got kicked off a stop before. I was with the group that made it all the way. At least we had Lizzie with us. We finally contacted Melissa and 10 of us went down to the station to look for everyone while MT and her sister went to reschedule our bus. We waited for them for at least 30 minutes. Abby and I tried a white chocolate twix. Then we decided to go to Dachau. It was really hard for me and I think I cried the most in my life. Then we went to Nymphemberg, a castle in Munich. It was really beautiful, but Abby, Sydney, and I were so tired and couldn't stop laughing. We then went back to Marienplatz and had dinner. I had a mixed sausage platter with 3 different kinds of sausage. I didn't like the sauerkraut very much. While we were eating a bunch of us played these games like black magic and green glass door. After we got back to the youth hostel we had free time. I went with Kalli and watched her and Kyle play chess for a while. Then more people showed up and Kalli won. Connor and Kyle played next and decided whoever loses buys pizza. But the pizza that we wanted to try was from a pizza to go vending machine. It was the most awful pizza I've ever had. The machine advertises Italy's finest and that it only takes 180 seconds. Then Kalli, Grant, Elyssa, Connor, and I couldn't stop laughing. It would be useless to explain what we were laughing at because it wouldn't be funny. We hung out for around 3 hours until 11:00. Even though it was a bit of a traumatic start to the day, it was probably the best so far.

There is so much to do in Germany! This morning, there was something wrong with the train, so Frau and half of the students got kicked off while the rest of us stayed on the train unaware of Frau Steiner’s disappearance. Luckily, we were able to get ahold of Frau Steiner and met up with the group pretty quickly except for Jacob who was pushed off of the train (I think) 4 times!!! Due to this incident, we changed our plans and went to Dachau. Going to the concentration camp today was such an amazing yet depressing experience. There are no words to even describe Dachau or how awful the things that happened in that camp were. After we finished the depressing part of our day, we went to Schloss Nymphenburg. The castle was beautiful! I swear the king had a room for anything and everything. Also, he had some pretty odd sleighs! Lastly, we ate dinner which was really good! Overall, it was an awesome day!
