Hello all We wanted to inform you that we have decided to sell our house and move to Switzerland! Anyone else in?? Just kidding! But as you can tell it is amazing here. We have done a lot since our last update, so I will try to make it as brief as possible. Munich Our second day in Munich brought us to Dachau. The memorial concentration camp just outside Munich.
