Let the Vacation Begin

Old Town Hall We arrived in Munich last night and started out by having some "wurst" and beer for dinner at the Viktualienmarket Beer Garden.

Frauenkirche
This morning we took a walking tour around the Old Center. We ate lunch at the "world's most famous beer hall," the Hofbrauhaus.

Nick at the Hofbrauhaus Nick is having a Weiss beer, which is a wheat beer, and I am having a Radler, which is half lemon-lime soda, half beer.

Helen at the Hofbrauhaus
In the afternoon we went to the Alte Pinakothek ("Old Art Gallery")--the main attractions for me were paintings by Albrecht Durer, Raphael, and Rubens.

The ice cream in Munich is DIVINE and relatively cheap at 1 Euro/scoop.

Hotel Atlanta offers an excellent location for an excellent price. However, our very private bathroom is across the hall from our room.

Tomorrow we are traveling to Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau castles.
There likely will be no more posts until we make it to Prague on Thursday night, as internet here is neither free nor consistent.
