Hello everyone! Sorry its been awhile again... So, Munich is amazing, for one of Europe's fairly modern cities. We spent a good part of our first day falling in love with cars that we couldn't possibly afford in the BMW museum. THen jumped over to Munich's Olympic Park, which housed the facilities from their summer Olympics
in 1972, all of which is now open to the public (they're vying for the Winter games as we speak~ but we dont know where they'll fit them... ) We took daytrips out to Nuremburg and saw one of Germany's oldest medieval castles and drank german beer in our first German beer garden while watching the US lose to Ghana in the world cup. Our second daytrip was to Dachau, Germany which was the site for one of Germany's concentration camps during WWII. We are in agreement that touring the remnants of the camp was both disturbing and life-altering. Our last day in Munich consisted of walking through Munich's version of central park, eating massive pretzels and watching Germany beat England and wathcing the Germans go CRAZY for their country! Following Munich, we began our journey up towards
Scandanavia
(in which we currently reside). This journey consisted of an awesome overnight boat taking us from Copenhagen to Oslo, Norway- thanks for the mutual birthday present Liz, it saved us two days by train. Posts from Scandanavia soon.
