We're staying at a B & B Hotel about a 10 minute UBahn ride from the city center. Went to Marienplatz and then to Viktualienmarkt. Here at the marketplace had a mid day snack. 2 Bavarians, 1 Saxon, 1 Spaniard, 1 Berliner, and 2 Americans having conversation over bier with Tillmann translating for all. Larry caused quite a commotion at first because he was eating white wurst in the afternoon, with utensils and did not remove the casing. The Bavarians forgave him but had a good laugh at his expense. (They assured him he would survive.)
Day 2
Met up with Andreas and Svea, Abbie's host father and sister. Svea had just returned from 7 months in New York City and a visit in Maine with Abbie. We had a fantastic tour of Munich.
Sedlinger Tor, Asamkirche (Golden Church), fresh squeezed juice at Viktualienmarkt, climbed to top of a church tower across from Neues Rathaus, arriving at noon as the Glockenspiel and mechanical figures performed across the platz.
On to
Hofbräuhaus with 2000 people drinking l liter biers
Views of Munich
On to Alte Pinakothek- 13th to 17th paintings. Biergarten for dinner.
Thank you to Andreas and Svea.
Day ended with walk through the English Garden and back to our B&B.
