Munich was memorable. It started when we rolled up in front of the neon pink sign at the hostel. Matt declared it to be the best place he had ever been in his life and we weren't even out of the car yet! Sierra had her car door opened by a dude we dubbed "green shirt", and at some point, Brian looked down from our room at the street below and noted that his wife was dancing with some random guy on the street (who we dubbed white shirt).
The first notable thing we accomplished in Munich was to catch up on sleep. Though sleep for some was interrupted by our poor roommate who returned at 0600. I was personally a bit surprised to wake up to a strange man standing nearby in his tighty underpants. The catch up on sleep caused us to miss breakfast, but nobody cared all that much.
We were treated to a fantastic lightening storm Saturday night, which heralded the onset of great rain. So much rain the locals kept apologizing for it. Off tromped in it though. We walked across the Oktoberfest grounds and visited the Bavaria hall of fame. Then walked over to the museum of transportation, took some photos of a giant snail, and headed for a church we had seen nearby. It turned out to be St. Paul's cathedral, one of the most amusing features of which were giant lifelike photos of what we assumed We're the priests, on video loop so their eyes moved. The floor was painted with big letters that appeared to say "we're watching".
Next we headed for the subway and tram for a trip to the palace. Not entirely sure who's palace it was, but it was really huge. Once we tired of that, we set off for a food quest. It was much harder to find bratwurst than we expected, but we finally prevailed.
Once fed, the under 30 crowd went drinking (yes, all of them). A good time was had by all!
Photos coming soon!
