I forgot this picture. Again, I’m not sure what it is and I’m too lazy to research, but it’s a nice picture if I do say so myself.
You know... stuff.

Augsburg

Augsburg was the largest city that we went to. I thought it was alright despite the fact that a pigeon pooped on my head there. Other interesting facts about the city:
- It was founded in 15 BC under the orders of Emperor Augustus
- The Augsburg Confession (the legal establishment of the Lutheran religion) happened here
- A really rich guy named Josef Fugger built basically everything in the city
- Mozart’s family is from Augsburg
Be forewarned- my captions aren’t great on this round. We were tired and uninformed while walking around there… although we did enjoy ourselves. Furthermore, I’m tired and uninformed right now.

Shad and I spent the last two weeks wandering through the Black Forest, drinking good beer and coffee, and working on our German accents in northern Switzerland and southern Germany. We also spent approximately 5 minutes in Austria, but Shad hurt his back there so we now have life long vendetta against the country. I’m going to post the pictures in small chunks because there are many, but I figured I would get started with a map of where we went…
