We made it to Munich and had lots of fun! I travelled with Rachel, Erin, Julie, Laura Nicholson, and Bill. It worked out to be a really good group because it gave us the ability to split up into smaller groups easily when we wanted to do different stuff. We all went to the Dachau concentration camp on Sunday. It was really intense and sad, but it was
definitely a good learning experience. A friend of mine who is from Munich was in town visiting his parents, so we met up with him after we went to Dachau. He showed us places to eat and gave us advise on which beers were local and tasty. It was nice to have someone to answer questions about the city. He went with us to a beer house on the first night and ordered a few amazing desserts. The blueberry pancake/beignet thing was "absolutely fantastic" in the words of Laura.
We went on a bike tour on Monday and it was awesome! The weather was perfect... Sunny and warm! Our tour guide was really funny and convinced Bill to jump in the freezing spring fed river that runs through the English garden. The garden was so beautiful. I would love to go back to Munich and just spend a whole day in the garden relaxing. I would just have to avoid the "free spirited" part of the garden where people lay around nude because it still makes me feel awkward. (Silly I know.) I accomplished getting a few gifts for people as we walked around Munich. I can't wait to give my brother his real one liter beer stein from one of the beer gardens we went to on Sunday night with Lovis and a few of his friends. Erin and I even went to a club on Monday night with Lovis and his friend. They played some pretty funny 90's music that had been remixed into dance/techno-ish music and the people watching was great, so we had a lot of fun. I just really enjoyed Munich and definitely would like to go back sometime soon! We are off to Basel, Switzerland next!
