Euro Trip - Castles

I don't have much time so I'll keep it short. We hit up a few castles the main one being Burg Eltz. It is set in an amazing area. Unfortunately it was under construction so the pics suck. We did take a tour inside. It was really cool. When we left Eltz. We headed out of Germany and headed to Luxembourg for a quick city tour and to visit the American war cemetery. Luxembourg is an amazing stop. The city is beautiful with lots of history to see. John wanted to visit the American cemetery. He is a war buff and General Patton is buried there. We showed up about 15 minutes after it closed and John was bummed. He saw a worker exiting and sweet talked her into letting us in for a few minutes. She ended up letting us in and gave us a 30 minute private tour. I was truly a amazing experience and continued to make this trip first class. This morning we decided to head to Caen France to visit some war sites of Normandy. We spent most the day driving. But we toured the city of Caen. It is mainly a day tour for visitors of Paris, so it really seemed like there weren't many tourist's in town tonight. Tomorrow were visiting some of the war sites than off to Paris. I'll try to do another post in a few days. Check back.
