This day can really only be described as fantastic. Not only was it a nice break from some of the emotionally heavy material that we had been dealing with but it was also just a straight up gorgeous day. We started by walking up a hill for about a mile to Neuschwanstein Castle where we toured the elaborate rooms. After touring the castle we took a bike ride to Schwansee, an amazingly beautiful alpine lake. We rode through the German countryside which was just so cool to see all the cute European houses. Then we arrived at the lake which was breathtaking: there was a huge mountain in the background that you could see in the reflection of the lake and all of the scenery was just gorgeous. It's hard for words or pictures to really do the day justice.
