Woke up & had breakfast in the hostel. Went to the train station and met our tour guide, then headed to Dachau. Dachau had mixed emotions. The Jewish concentration camp left many speechless. Words could not describe how it felt to walk through the camp, where so many people was murdered. Walking to the furnace I could not fathom what actually took place.

La Ville Lumiere The dark specter of the cool night spread across the sky, while the alluring orange color of the sunset disappeared as nonchalantly as it came. A mixed medley of harmonious sounds streamed through the night from the violins. Music echoed from every street corner, awakening life, springing off the Eiffel Tower to Notre Dame and floating through the Arc de Triomphe.

Here is another crucial point in Van Gogh's life. He was a passionate, often eccentric artist. The idea of Van gogh arguing art theory with other painters in Montmartre is a very strong image, but one of the most powerful and moving images come from his time in Arles.
