I feel like I have been gone so long, I have a million things to do, but I want to start remembering the trip and writing things down so I don't forget :)
Who's been to Munich? Isn't it amazing?
We stayed at the Sheraton Munich, and we learned how to take the underground everywhere from the airport! I love their public transportation systems... we didn't even take a taxi until the last leg of the trip 3 weeks in :)
We landed in the late afternoon and wasted no time getting out of the hotel and getting lost until we found an amazing restaurant. Success!
We loved it so much, we stayed there for a couple hours...
Inside the brauhaus... it was an older one!
Some of the best beer I have ever tasted!
I gave up being a veg on this trip and just enjoyed the food! This "pizza" look alike is made with yeast from the beer.
Our walk back to the hotel was beautiful!
We were lucky to spend 4 days here - we saw (and ate) so many wonderful things. We are the touristy people who love those "City Sightseeing" buses. We hoped on one of those and started exploring.
TL needed his latte, so he was quick to find a little coffee shack ;)
Olympia Park in Munich is a must see! The 1972 Summer Olympics were held here and the grounds are amazing. This is Olympic Tower and it stretches 290 meters tall. The elevator in the tower goes 7 meters/second (fast!).
The BMW Factory - employs 96,000 people world wide, 24,000 of them work there. It takes 40 hours to make one car! (If I am remembering correctly) ;)
On top of the tower. We were so lucky with the weather we had - sunny & clear!
You may remember what happened during the '72 olympics... The "Munich Massacre" when the members of the Israeli team were taken hostage and murdered. It happened in the Olympic Village and where they were murdered is now a memorial area.
The grounds are huge - and beautiful!
We loved the unique architecture.
This is the pool where US Swimmer Mark Spitz set the world record for most gold medals (before Phelps, of course)
I love traveling with this guy.
The famous Hofbrauhaus... a MUST visit for anyone going to Munich!
Tim and his weenies... haha.
The architecture is just beautiful!
The famous hafbrauhaus one liter beers!
I loved this city...
Flowers were in bloom everywhere which reminded me of my mom!
We loved this city!!
What a beautiful first stop - we could definitely go back there someday. The people were friendly, the food was delicious, and there was so much to see & do!
I miss Munich already.
Hope you're having a wonderful weekend... sorry for the long post.
xoxo

In the photo where you're drinking the beer, do you know those people in the background? Or is it common to sit with strangers at a big table like that? Love the recaps, keep them coming please!!
