Full day in Germany

This morning as I was writing my blogs, I looked over and saw Adam reading his scriptures. I then realized that he was reading the first book of Nephy outloud in a Sean Connery accent and laughed so hard I almost cried. You should try it sometime its pretty fun!
We found our way back to the train station and took what’s called the S line to Dacau where the extermination camp was built. I must say I am getting quite good at getting around foreign places, my bad sense of direction has been getting lots and lots of practice. Adam might have helped just a little bit…
I had been mentally preparing to go to Dacau because I have studied and read about it before and knew the horrific things that had happened where I would soon be standing. Initially it was built to hold 6,000 people, but they packed in around 32,000. Walking around was surreal and envisioning all those people in such small areas, reading what happened in each of the rooms, reading the personal accounts of people who survived…it made my stomach hurt and my head spin. It is hard to imagine people being so cruel, and then later finding how some were able to forgive them. I don’t think adam or I said more than 4 complete sentences to each other and we took time to see the different memorials on the site. It was a very reverent place.
I decided we should lighten the mood so we walked down to Mariplatz, or the main town square and look around. The buildings were breathtaking! The old churches and clocktowers were enormous and had so much detail. There was a huge farmers market going on, lots of little bands playing in the courtyard and plenty of places to eat dinner! We ended up eating at a very German restaurant, but my stomach was feeling squirmy so I got some bread with ham and cheese and some chicken soup. Adam on the other hand felt very adventurous. He ordered a German item that he assumed was chicken and some potatoes and we waited in suspense to see what it could be. He got his bowl and took off the lid to find two, fat and creamy looking sausages in a bowl of water with a pretzel to follow it down on the side! Again I couldn’t keep in my laughter and just lost it. Two nights in a row Adam got a bigger surprise than he bargained for. I gave him some soup and offered him my meal but he took it like a champ and choked it down (he said he kinda liked it but I thought I heard him sigh before every bite.)
