Just in Time for Doug's Three Day Weekend

Several weeks ago we ordered five new 1000 piece puzzles from White Mountain Puzzle.  At the time we thought that they'd be delivered within a few days and we would be able to keep busy during the two week stay at home order for Indiana.  The COVID-19 outbreak in Connecticut, however, delayed the shipping process and we did not recieve the puzzles until today.  Since we were now under a stay at home order in our own state until April 20th and today was the start of Doug's three day weekend, it actually ended up being the perfect time for our package to arrive.

We decided to start the Neuschwanstein Castle first.  It was the one that we were most excited to receive.  We had "flown" over the castle multiple times while "hang gliding" on Soarin' at EPCOT and it was one of the few homes that we felt rivaled the beauty of the Biltmore.  I found out that it was the home of King Ludwig II and was built in the mountains of Schwangau, Germany in the 1880's.  All of us said that we would love to visit it one day, but since that was unlikely, working on the puzzle was the next best thing.  Doug and I started tonight.  It will be a tough one, but we should have plenty of time to work on it.
