So, we've made it back to Munich! Now, it's time for the long trip back to Houston, then to Austin again. It's midnight 30 here, we catch the subway at 1 (last train to airport), where we'll wait for our 6:45 flight! UGGGGGG We're looking forward to getting home. Once we get there, and sleep for 22 hours straight, we'll upload some pictures, and write a bunch about the places we've been.
