Wrapping it up in the land of the Swiss...

Ok, So I'm pretty close to the end of my little European adventure now...two company visits tomorrow, a wrap up session boat ride, and a quick day long hop over the pond stand between me and a decent plate of Tex-Mex food yet again. I didn't really do my last post justice but, now is as good a time as any to update the pictures that i short handed everyone from the last post and update ya'll on my trip here in Switzerland so far. Other than that I'm going to keep enjoying life, staying proud, yet humble, or trying to be, and I look forward to seeing all of you guys back in the states soon.

For those of you out there who care...I know some of you do... This was the first beer that I had in Munich, it's a "little" one only .5 Liters. A HaufBrau Hefenwiessen


This Big boy is what they call, Eine Maß , it's the equivalent of 1.0 Liter of Beer, the one I had was a Löwenbräu Pils finished all of it in one sitting...so I can claim that I truly experienced Bavaria.

My Future Ducati that I'll own sitting right in the middle of the Audi museum floor, apparently Audi is a really big deal...they own both the Porche and Ducati brands...which I had no idea of...so that was cool to learn

For those of you who are big wine drinkers you will appreciate this next company visit that I took...

Guys just chilling at the office...ya know hand blowing glass for wine glasses....molten hot glass, no big deal

The Whole factory floor in action, all teams are working on different types of glasses, vases, etc.


This is a pic I stole from a friend that is the Monument at Dachau w/ the flowers that our group left


Here's another picture that i stole from Sydney, they surf the river in Munich...pretty cool to see in person


The Castle that Walt Disney based Sleeping Beauty's castle in Disneyland on Neuschwanstein


A better, more detailed picture of the Castle

Nice view of the lake and mountains that I got thanks to my short hike up the muddy path

sadly not allowed to take pictures inside the castle since it damages the paint and what not But, here are some pics of what I saw inside thanks to Google:


The throne-room...truly incredible thing to see in person


This is the room where the king could see plays performed in the comfort of his lavish home


This is a pic of the last hotel that I will be staying at here in Europe...nice sized room can't complain about it too much. Definitely comfortable.

Today  got to go on a gondola up to the top of Mt. Titlis which was pretty cool they have a glacier up there along with a snow park, nice change of pace to playfully fall in the snow for a change rather than wiping out on skies. Unfortunately though we had one of my fellow travelers got hurt via a collision, she's fine but still a little shaken up and bruiseed so if all of you, who are into this kind of thing, could pray for her I'd appreciate it. That's all I've really got for all of you followers. Nothing but, positive thoughts and prayers back to you guys in the states, take care and I'll see the rest of you later this summer!!
