Europe: part 2

Munich:

We woke up early this day because of jetlag I am sure. We walked around the area we were in and Brian pointed out his favorite things he saw while on his mission.  While walking around, Brian pointed out where the LDS church was!  Naturally we had to get a picture of him in front of the building. 

We had breakfast at a bakery in the hauptbahnhof (train system in Munich). We grabbed a train to the touristy part of Munich and saw 2 amazing churches (Asam kirche, frauen kirche).  

We also saw the city center marienplatz where the old city hall has the enormous cookoo clock, and the parliament.  We tried to go in, but there was a sign on the door that said that you “must be a member invited by parliament to enter”.  Darn!  Our feet at this point were already soo tired of walking everywhere.  Every once In a while Brian and I would take a tram to ease our feet.  Somehow Brian managed to lose our maps and our schedule for the rest of the trip when we ate at an outdoor café for lunch!  That’s OK though.  We had another one of Brian’s favorite meals there called weisswurst (which is white Sausage) and homemade pretzels. This was right after watching the cookoo clock put on its show. 

 It was really relaxing sitting in the shade of the buildings eating lunch together.  After lunch, we went to Schloss nymphenburg, which is a beautiful castle on the outskirts of Munich.   

We sat on the bench mainly while we were there.  Our feet were on fire from walking so much!  Then we took a train over to the Olympiaturm where we were able to ride to the top of this Giant tower and look out at the beautiful city of Munich!   

Brian loved it.  We headed home after that because of exhaustion.  We rested up for a half hour, then decided to make one last quick trip out to get money out of an ATM a few blocks away in karlsplatz stachus. We saw lots of poliezi surrounding a bunch of people dressed in black.  We asked around and found out the people in the middle that were gated off were the neo-nazis. Lots of people gathered outside the police and began shouting and chanting insults and stuff at the neo-nazis.  There were probably about 60 nazis, 100 poliezi, and 200 people watching/yelling.  Finally we returned home gimping from our aching feet and went to sleep.
