Many little girls fantasize about princess-hood, wearing big, beautiful gowns, living in a large palace and falling in love with prince charming...just like Cinderella. Tomboys read the Alanna books (which I highly recommend) and dream of learning magic during the Middle Ages while fighting tough battles in a man's world. Boys imagine themselves as heroes, riding their bikes up and down the block with plastic swords strapped tightly to their backs, yelling, "I have the power!" (Stories from Steve's mom inspired this last example.)
No matter how you played pretend growing-up, it is impossible to not be impressed by Germany's many castles. There are six official State castles in Munich alone, and hundreds of others advertised by the Bavarian Castle and Gardens Authority:
I could even commit a whole blog post to Neuschwanstein, the model for Disney's famous Sleeping Beauty Castle. Oh wait! I did: Castles and Cultural Differences. Really though, the castles in Germany are incredible, and at the same time, leave so much to the imagination. Come visit to relive your childhood dreams and discover the "Magic of Germany."
