We drove from Frankfurt to Oberammergau, a trip that our Garmin said would take fours but which stretched into six plus. The next morning we were off to Dachau. Dachau has the dubious distinction of being the first of hundreds of Nazi concentration camps. It&#8217;s hard to take it all in &#8211; but probably should be required for any person in a position of power (all German school children must visit one of these prisons; why not all elected officials??). The goal of visiting, along with learning a lot of history, is to promote harmony and peace, to ensure that we have learned from the past.<em> Ne plus jamais <\/em>&#8211; never again.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 2010px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.griffy-sherlock.com\/homepage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/wpid-wp-1444460217693.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"wp-1444460217693\" class=\"alignnone size-full\"  alt=\"image\" src=\"http:\/\/www.griffy-sherlock.com\/homepage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/wpid-wp-1444460217693.jpeg\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Where prisoners slept at Dachau. <\/p><\/div>\n<p>The next day we went to a very different tourist spot &#8211; Mad King Ludwig&#8217;s castle. It is probably the most visited castle in Germany. It was interesting and beautiful; HOWEVER if we were to do it over again, we&#8217;d probably save the 27 euros and skip the (short and drab) guided tour and just enjoy the views and the outside. (Note: Bunny had already been to Dachau and Mad King Ludwig&#8217;s in 1982).
