Hello, So I know it has been a while since we have posted, several are on the way but in rural Germany and Austria, Wi-Fi is hard to come by. We are moving into the cities, so posts should come more regularly. Here is my post from day 3 enjoy....
So it has been a couple of days since I have written. This is because we have been lost pretty much the entirety of the past two days. You see, the GPS system that we were planning to take blew up the day before we left. The ride from the airport was relatively uneventful. Little did we know that we were never to find our campsite again.... We went to the grocery and got lost, we went to dinner and got lost.
Day 2 we went to Dachau. It was a powerful reminder of the strength of a people and the need for vigalance against hatred and discrimination. After trying to return to town after 2 hours of being lost (30 minute drive), the days trip also reminded us not to complain about minor inconveniences, so I will share without complaining.
So 2 hours to get from Dachau to Munich, 2 more hours to park, but hey we went to the Haufbrauhaus had dinner and beer, watched the beginnings of the football playoffs (sorry Rob about the Netherlands loss), and listened to the musicians on the streets.
Then we attempted to return to our campsite. After the first hour, we knew we were lost. By hour two, a tail light and been knocked loose due to a minor altercation with a guard rail and things became tense. Hour was one of quiet prayer and a few tears. We had stopped for directions at least 7 times. Now at this time, I must pay homage to my family, no code words were used, no arguments were had, in fact little was spoken aloud. Then we found ourselves right back in downtown Munich, where we had left 3 and a half hours before and everyone was silent as my father stopped to ask for dirctions once again. He then did the smartest thing possible, he paid a taxi to guide us back to our campground....it took 15 minutes.
New goal....buy a TomTom

I really feel bad about blowing up that TomTom now, however, not as bad as I feel for Holland's loss to Russia (thank you for you sympathy). Idea: ask for directions to the nearest electronics store and get that TomTom!
All I can say is that I thought I had it bad with twins...just kidding. Oh how I forget how much fun it is to go on vacation with the Sylvesters (and Acostas). Sounds like everything is right in order for a Sylvester family vacation. I hope all is well and I look forward to hearing more tales.
