After a pretty sleepless night (there is a really obnoxious school group staying here...) we woke up and went to Dachau. Seeing the actual camp where such horrors took place was pretty emotional for the three of us. We walked through the barracks and saw the crematoriums and the gas chamber that was supposedly unused.

We ate lunch in a little marketplace where Sarah and Lauren ordered Bratwurst and I went to a little cheese stand and ordere...

We walked around the city today and enjoyed seeing the beautiful bui...
