Munich: RECAP

this is all you need to know.

joking. yesterday was packed full of Munich sight seeing and activities. Johanna came to meet us for the day and had a full one planned! We started at this huge castle/palace (Keli and I had stumbled upon it the day before, but had no idea what we were looking at.... just saying, oh thats pretty, wonder what this big building is all about? .. We had been looking for the English garden, thought we had found it but it was really just the palace park- big ass park.) So after we toured the re-discovered castle/palace we took a trip to the actual English Garden.. amazing! So big, with lots of young people and naked old men laying by the river and just hanging out, allll out. Craziest part were the surfers, yeah, surfers in a landlocked German park.. apparently there is a part in the canal that swells over like a wave and guys take turns "surfing it" one-by-one....

Then we went to the English garden's beer garden... delicious.. we've been trying all kinds of authentic German food and loving allll of it..

(that's for you Phipps: ex-track athletes at their finest)

Thennnn we went to a sweet museum, lots of classics and a few impressionists, some really huge ones, lots of variety, we all enjoyed it.

and thennnn we got to walk through the BMW museum, Keli's favorite. rode some motorcyles and checked out cars

and thennnnnnn (still walking EVERYWHERE) we went to see the Munich Olympic stadium, which jsut hosted the summer x-games and is now a central workout location for tons of people... more pictures to come. 

and thennnnnnn (STILL WALKING) we went to this festival that had tons of food and little shops from all over the world. WE had some indian food and italian food and discovered an amazing band (three brothers and sisters who play every instrument possible) they were seriously amazing. 

after getting home at 1oclock we were soo ready to sleep... on the floor of the tent hostel. more pictures to come on the hostel.. it was a super unique place, essentially a campground with three big tents, one with 100 bunk beds and two with sleeping room for andother 100 people. It was a great atmosphere, lots of young people from all over the world, everyone hangs out and has a fire every night. We met a lot of people from all over and got lots of suggestions on where to go next! 

Munich was an awesome city but we bused out this morning and landed in Nurmburg with our friend, and Keli's old roomate, Ulli. It is so relaxing here and we were both ready for it.
