  1. Wow Carolyn you sure are learning alot about Germany. I love looking at all the beautiful architecture on the cathedrals and castles.

    Have you found information on the Disney castle yet?

    I can’t wait to read more.

  2. Funny you should comment on the Disney castle! Pierce and I were working on this same question today. Take a look at his posting. In a quick summary, the Cinderella castle is modeled after a castle in France. The Sleeping Beauty Castle (Disneyland in California and Hong Kong) is the castle modeled after a castle in Germany. You can look at Pierce’s post to find out the name. I had checked several sites and all say that these two castles and locations are commonly confused. I have not looked in any books though to see if my site sources are correct. Maybe we should look in some books, too?

  3. Yes, the Disneyland Castle is modeled after the castle in Germany that Pierce mentioned. We found this in a map we have at home.

  4. Good morning Carolyn. So how was your International Bread Sampling Day? So Italian bread was your favorite….yummy! Did you like the Stollen you brought? Your Great Grandma always use to make it at Christmas time and it was my favorite. Your Grandma also made it several times when I was younger. Love Mom!
