1/16th of my haritage

Well Munich as a blast to say the least. We started in Munich by ariving from our overnight train at about 7:30 in the morning. Luckily our hostel was very close to the train station. We got our luggage put away and head out for the center of the city, which was only about a 10 min walk away. When we got there we realized the city of Munich had yet to wake up on that beautiful Sunday morning. Suprisingly the only thing open was a McDonalds, so we went in and had a little taste of home. (I am loving Europe, but I really miss the states at times, things like this help) From Mcdonalds we walked around for a little bit and found an internet cafe open, so we spent a little time there catching up on things we couldn't do in Paris.

After the internet cafe we went to meet up with a group for a tour of a concentration camp. The specific camp we were going to just outside of Munich was called Duchau. It was not something we had fun doing, but we felt it was good for us to see. It was very sad for me to see how similar so much of it was to what I have seen at the Killing Fields of Cambodia. Enough sad stuff. With travel time and all, the tour took about 6.5 hours, so we were ready for a big barvarian dinner and an evening walk around the town and the near by river banks. We had some of the best pork ever with some of the worst service ever...I guess you cant win them all.

We woke up the next day for another day long tour. This time we went up to the Castle (with a name that starts with an N that i cannot spell) built by King Ludwig II of Barvaria. It was a beautiful sight to see up in the Alps. The castle was actually the insperation for sleeping beauty...kinda cool. Our night looked very similar to the one before, walk around city center, great food, bad service, but then we went to the chinese beer gardens. It was this huge area in the middle of a park with tons of picnic tables were people wre just hanging out. As fate would have it we sat at a table next to an ag who was the class of 87...whoop for the Aggie Network.

From Munich we headed over to Prague, Czech Republic where we would go to three different countries in three days.

Till then!
