Castles Galore!

On Thursday, we went to the BMW Welt building, which is really cool looking actually, and we also went to the Olympic park where there was a tower to view the entire city. Then we went over to another Castle, they seem to be everywhere. This one was called the Schloss Nymphenberg and is the summer residence of the king. It was ok... ;)

So over the course of the week, I've come up with a few things for those traveling to Munich:

The lane that is really nice for walking with no cobblestones in it.... Yep, that's the bike lane. Watch out, someone will probably run you over if you're not careful.

Germans don't wear flip flops. If you see someone wearing them, there's a 100% chance they are American.

Beer is the dinner of choice. And the lunch of choice and the breakfast of choice. It's everywhere.

If you try to get away from the saurkraut by going out for Ethiopian food, no luck. They sneak that stuff in everywhere! Not a plate goes by without saurkraut. Maybe that's why the beer thing is so popular.

Pretzels, Brezel, Brezen. Expect to eat lots of them, with salt, chocolate, powdered sugar, cheese, meat, whatever. They are really everywhere.

Still have to tell you about Salzberg...
ciao for now
