Today
was rather lengthy with many problems and headaches.
Amongest the trouble were perhaps the most beautiful
sights I have seen in museums. We visited the Neue
Pinakothek in Munchen, Germany. I saw many Rodins that
I didn't know existed, greatly impressed me with their
skillful appearance. I stood close to Van Goghs and
Monets, gapping at other artists I hadn't heard of
or can remember. In
the morning, we visited Dachau,
a Nazi concentration camp. The gravel and barren landscape
created a reality
of the prisoners' lives. The sculpture in front looked
like barbed wire created with bones, gruesome.
We
were all exhausted and braced overselves for the overnight
drive to Paris. |
