It seemed like the whole world had descended upon Prague. Bustling with tourists, but not hard to understand why - one of the most beautiful cities I've visited.

#CastlesOfMastodon

That time I was in a Kansas Army National Guard public affairs unit and our annual training in 2000 for five of us was three weeks at Grafenwohr, Germany. We had a couple days off at the end of the three weeks before we headed back for the States and decided to rent a little Fiat station wagon and go into southern Germany. Included in that little trip were tours of the castle Neuschwanstain and next door, Hohenschwangau Castle.

History has a particular poignancy when there's a castle relic between you and the car park...
