So there was a bit of a mixup and I forgo to blog about the 2nd day in Munich! What a great day it was. We must be blending in pretty well. Almost everyone thinks we are German! Must be that Glauser heritage coming out. They come to a shocking realization when i stumble over "wie gehts" and seem a bit diappointed. Howver this did lead to a highlight of the trip. A german actually asked us for diractions. And we were able to give them! Go us and our knowledge of the Hauptbahnhof (central train station).We began the day walking to the old town square and checking out the Residenz. That is the palace of the rulers of Bavaria for about 600 years or so. They were even electors of the Holy Roman Emperor. It was incredibly impressive with a museum of jewels and treasures with a massive palace of rooms literally fit for kings. After that exhausting education in Bavarian history we decided to do a bit more research at the Bavarian hot spot known as the Hofbrauhaus. It was exactly what you expected from a beer hall. It was loud huge, filled with beer and tubas playing. A cool touristy spot. Our only complaint: Here, as everywhere, water is more expensive than beer! We are grtting hangovers from dehydration! This is a major issue over here and i dont grt how they survive. Anyways...After that we made our way to the glockenspiel (cuckoo clock). It was ....ok. honestly I don't think Nora or I really understood the hubbub.

After that we made our way out to the Englischer Garten. Holy cow! So cool! A 992 acre park right in Munich. We saw river surfers tons of people laying out and lots of locals. While its apparently a big spot for nude sun bathing no we did not see any. We did however get some mass krugs at the Chiemese Garten and our last big pretzel. We capped the day with some German Mexican food and of course some more beer. :-) good times in Munich.
