Munich and more

June 22, 2014

We are really in Switzerland right now, and loving it!, but Omar’s cousin Nicole took us to Munich for his birthday weekend to visit more family, eat amazing food, and spend an action packed weekend enjoying life in Germany - which is pretty awesome - beer, giant pretzels, and BMW!

IMG 9248Halloween costumes or traditional German wear???

IMG 9256The Rathaus-Glockenspiel at Munich Town Hall. There’s chimes and moving people (for those with binoculars) celebrating the marriage of a Duke Wilhelm V . . the very same duke who started the Hofbrauhaus brewery in Munich.  Coincidence???  I think not!

IMG 9265I am immortalized in the town of Munich!

DSCN0030Munich Olympic Park - still very much in use after the 1972 Olympics.

DSCN0038We spent a morning visiting the Andechs Abbey/brewery just outside Munich. 

DSCN0040Since church was in session - we just headed straight to the beer garden with the other heathens!

DSCN0043And what trip to Germany would be complete without a drive on the autobahn???  You don’t even want to know what the speedometer said!  (But Omar did - so he had to look up kmh to mph!)
