Well I just got back from Munich. Me and my wife and a few friends went down there for the weekend. I have been to Munich several times but it is funny how you look at things differently as you get older. I would never want to live in a Big City but if I had to live in a Big City it would be Munich. The city is beautiful and has a lot of flair. It mixes the old architecture and the new architecture wonderfuly and the city is just beautiful and fun to be in. It is now my new favorite big city.
Anyhow yesterday we hit all the churches and took lots of pictures walkind around the city. For lunch we went to the famous Hofbrau House in Munich for lunch and a beer. This is the same place where a younger Hitler and the budding Nazi Party planned the future of the party and the take over of Germany. The atmosphere is wonderful there. We each drank a Litler Mug of Beer and ate some good Bavarian White Wurst and listened to the live band playing traditional German songs.
Later that night we hit several bars and found a nice Irish Pub filled with Irish people and a live band. Drank some good Kilkenny beer there and just relaxed listening to music and watching England play New Zealand in Rugby.
The next day we went to the University of Munich and the Geschwister Scholl Platz to the memorial for the White Rose and brother and sister Scholl at the place where they dropped the leaflets denouncing the Nazi Party and were later captured, tortured and killed.
After that we hit the Deutsches Museum where we saw a Ju 52, Bf 109E, Me 262, Me 163, V-1, V-2, HS 293, Natter and lots of WW2 Piston and Jet engines.
I will post pictures with descriptions as soon as the battaries of my camera are recharged.
