Day 2 - Memories of WWII

Yesterday was our first full day in Europe. It was a very powerful day in comparison to our first day filled with shopping and coffee. Our first stop yesterday was Dachau which was a concentration camp where over 40 000 People of all ages, and back grounds lost their lives. This was a lot to take in. Our tour guide described the horrors that took place in this camp. They were hard to imagine, and painful to think about. Learning about this was important and difficult at the same time. After we left the camp there was a long bus ride to think about what we had seen and learned, that experience I know will stay with us forever. Three hours later we arrived at a museum all about a man who tried to assassinate Hitler, we were told two different generations view on this man, and it was amazing how different each persons opinion of him was. After that we hopped back on the bus we went for an awesome dinner, I must say was a large improvement from the night before. We ended our day in a nice hotel getting a few hours if sleep before heading off in the morning.
