So we had an awesome day in Munich! We started the day with a four hour walking tour of the city. Our tour guide took a different approach than the traditional tour guide. Whether than delving very deeply into the history of a few locations around the city, he strove to impart the culture and history of the Bavarian and Munich people. I will never forget that Bavarians are hardcore Catholic, very conservative, have a lot of money, make good beer, drink a lot of good beer, make amazing pork sausage, and most importantly wear Lederhosen! In the middle of the tour we ate a fantastic beer garden in the middle of a market. Maria was amazed by all of the fresh vegetables and Daniel and I enjoyed our beer and suasage. After the tour, we tried to go up to the top of St. Peters Church, but the skies opened up, ending our short reprive from the rain. We took shelter in the nearby Paulaner Beer Hall and later played cards for a while. For dinner, we went to Munich's famous Hofbrauhaus Beer Hall and Garden! There were probably 500 people there enjoying the truly Bavarian atmosphere of great music, food, and beer. We had another fantastic meal courtesy of our parents (thank y'all so much!) including a multitude of different sausages, pasta, bread, Bavarian desserts, and our favorite cheese and pretzels! We all agreed that it was our favorite dinner of the whole trip!
Well, we are heading out to explore the city for one last day, and then we leave for Roma tonight!
