At the end of the tour of Auschwitz I, the tour guide told us how to get to Auschwitz II - Birkenau, for those of us who wanted to continue. For me, Birkenau was the whole point of going -- to Auschwitz; to Poland; and you could even say to Europe itself on that trip. About half of the tour group didn't get on the free shuttle bus, which was just as well.
After a short bus ride, we arrived at the other side of this gate building -- the most infamous symbol of the Holocaust.

One of the few things I learned about Munich before I went there was that BMW was based there and that they had this cool-looking building. I didn't come home with a single good picture of it. This one was originally tilted 6 degrees to the right.

Eins der wenigen Dinge I erlernte über München, bevor ich dort war ging, dass BMW dort basierte und dass sie dieses kühl-schauende Gebäude hatten. Ich kam nach Hause nicht mit einer einzelnen guten Abbildung von ihr. Dieses wurde ursprünglich 6 Grad rechts gekippt.

I decided to break chronological order and post this pic in the spirit of Halloween!
This is the first pic I posted to Flickr that was taken with my new Canon Rebel XSi. In several months, you'll start to see the rest of them :)
