catch a glimpse: early morning, sad past, waiting fortress, long car rides, great friends...

After only getting 3 hours of sleap last night, I had to get up early and be at the villa at 7am.

I met up with Mick, Shawn and Cristal and we went on a 3 hour drive to a concentration-camp in Buchenwald.

I wasn't to tired though and couldn't have slept anyways, since I had to tell Mick where to go.

We got to Buchenwald around 10 am and started our own tour with a little gadget that told us things about the different stations along the way. It was a good tour, but of course there was always the sadness in the back of our heads, that humans could do this to another human being.

Around 12 (I think) we got back into the car and went on to get some lunch, which we had at a small lunch-place, where we ate something.

We traveled on to the Wartburg, which is the fortress or castle where Luther had been hiding and translated the New Testament into german. We didn't do the big tour, since we were mostly interested in seeing Luthers room and some other minor things outside of the castle.

We had some coffee there too and had a great time hanging out.

I think it was 4.30 pm when we got back to the car and headed home.

The car ride was a lot of fun and we laughed a lot!

We had to stop on the autobahn after a couple of minutes, because the police had blocked the road, which lasted an hour. We had a lot of fun though as you can see in the pictures.

Mick at one point decided to clean our windows (oh how good it is to have windex with you wherever you go *haha*) and the ppl in the car next to us jokingly asked him to clean theirs too. Of course Mick did not hesitate one second, and did it. We laughed soo much!
