Europe Vacation
Germany
Monday June 28 to Tuesday June 29, 2004


The four of us rented a car and drove about 4 hours from Amsterdam to Germany. We stayed in a castle-hotel called Burg Schwalenberg, outside of a town called Schieder-Schwalenberg. The castle was way up on a hill, pretty isolated, so we spent the whole time right at/in the castle.


There are a lot of pictures, so if you get an empty box with just an X in it, right-click the box and select Show Picture.
