Post #101

Today was another good vacation day. We woke up around 9:45, I jumped on the internets while Max got ready, and at 11 we joined a tour of Munich that was “free” (tip requested). We saw some sights for about 2 ½ hours, and then we went around to a park, followed by a trip to the main train station so Max could buy his train ticket to Zurich. From there, we went to some museum (the Munich museum?) where there were a bunch of science exhibits that I did not find especially interesting. Next was dinner at a bratwurst and fries place in Max’s guidebook (nothing special), followed by a really cold trip to the soccer stadium of Bayern Munich. Actually, any time we’ve been outside since we’ve been in Germany it’s been freezing, and I don’t really deal well with these temperatures. My fingers drain themselves of blood (they become even whiter than I normally am, believe it or not) and I cannot feel the extremities. Not good.

Anyhoo, after the trip to the stadium we rode public transpo back to Marienplatz (the main square), got to walk around the Christmas market for about half an hour, then headed over to the Augustiner brewery beerhouse, where Max and I both got a liter of beer and promptly downed it, along with a pretzel (when in Munich…). If you are wondering why this post is so poorly written, that is why: I just finished off my last sip of beer about 30 minutes ago.

In other good news, I got a single in Dillon for next semester. Lucky lucky me.

Other good news: my parents and Tim Tim are coming tomorrow. Austrian Alps “skiing” trip. I doubt I’ll ski more than 3 days. I need a break (too much traveling and stress related with that), so I expect it to be an Austrian Alps sleeping/chilling trip. And I’d be very happy with that.
