München, Germany

Yesterday was without a doubt the funniest day we have had on our trip thus far. We woke up early (much to the dismay of Tim and I) to eat the delicious 2 boxes of shortbread cookies that I purchased the night before, take a walk across the Charles Bridge, rub the plaque of a lady watching someone being thrown over the bridge (not the plaque of the soldier and the dog!), and find more food. For those of you unfamiliar with the Charles Bridge, it's a long, old, tourist infested piece of architecture that may or may not actually have any historical significance. Really glad we hit that spot.
Also, when we were walking across the bridge, something really strange happened. For at least a few minutes, the clouds opened up we were able to see this big, bright, shiny thing in the sky. I feel like I used to know what that was, but I don't remember anymore.
After crossing the bridge, we found (by mistake) the John Lenon wall (pictures to come soon). Maria particularly enjoyed this monument and added 4 or 5 quotes to the wall. We then found a nice park called Little Venice (hey, we actually did make it to Venice... :p) and just chilled for a while. After a quick, Czech lunch we headed to the train station.
We were really hoping to find a laundomat on the way (we and our clothes smell terrible) but, alas, we didn't. Instead, we played some rummy and I downloaded Catan in preparation for our long train ride.
The train was uneventful except that Maria got uncontrollable giggles and Tim's infamous weezy laugh came back. 6 hours later we arrived in München, checked in at our hostel, chilled in the common room for a few hours (playing rummy, of course), finished our cookies, found some pizza, and hit the sack. Today promises to be another long one (duh) but with Tim's flight only 4 days away, we're really trying to squeeze as much Europe as we can out of the home stretch. Gotta go check on my (clean!) laundry. There may be a video involving that...
