Today we went to see two castles next to each otehr. They were both really pretty. I honestly dont think I could live in a castle though. They are so emotionless and excessive. I dont even go into every room of my house on a daily basis as it is! they seem to be designed for you to never really have to go outside-which is crazy! Our tour guide was so funny. He had a voice that made me think he should be the jester. I tried a bavarian hamburger and it was really good! hans is making a pizza now, im so excited!He said that only old people here drive automatic cars. We sat around the fire last night and talked about Harold and Maude and Cat Stevens. It's kinda yucky out today for pictures. So many people had such fancy cameras today. I think that also discourages me a bit, the fact that so many people have the cameras to take the same pictures I take, and obviously the interest or else they wouldnt invest the money in such an expensive camera! Also, the only lens I brought, the one im borrowing from school, wont work very well as a macro lens-even though its a macro zoom lens AND its definitely my style to take super up close pictures. its quite frusterating! it makes this aweful noise when i try to focus and then i cant take a picture so i have to turn it off and back on!=(
