Vacation D1: Dachau Concentration Camp

18 days, 10 countries, 3922 miles, 3410 photos.......

we may be a little crazy......

I'm not even sure how to Blog all this~ I should have done it as we went.. but 1. I didn't have room in our tiny Mazda for my computer. 2. I didn't have time. 3. I was on vacation... LOL

Day one. April 16  Hungry --> Austria --> Germany

We drove through Graz Austria & the Alps to Munich and saw Dachau Concentration Camp.
---- Why Graz? Well, because our GPS hates us and keep taking us on these weird "shortcuts" that were NOT shortcuts.... But we saw some cool stuff, on our Detours~ So I wasn't to annoyed, that it took us almost an hour longer to get to Munich.


Sunny yet snowing when we entered our first tunnel.


Snow sticking as we exited the tunnel. 



Through the Alps.

"Inspire them fear, O Lord; that the nations may know themselves to be frail Mortals! Seelah!"





Each bed of rocks was one long housing unit.
