Hotel Zur Linde Hohenlinden

... heaping portions of bacon which I don't eat. Hubby and b-i-l took pity on me and gave me some of their crust with smidges of sauce--not enough! This is when I decided that one of us has to learn German before our next trip to the Christkindlmarkts. So, instead of flammbrot, I had french fries and a beer. We browsed the stalls for awhile, making mental notes of the ones to revisit, and then decided to get out of the cold and drink some ...

... if i had to pick one is the smoking but you get that and even thats not that bad here. So tomorrow we catch the 9.30 train to Venice with a short stop in Verona, home to Romeo and Juliet. Can't wait i've always had a thing for Gondolas. So romantic.... till next time xxx p.s on a funny note due to my money bungle at the start of our trip we only have 50€ left until our money clears on monday hahaaha woops sorry peeps but no souveniers......

... USA just blew it. They were barely in second after all and they screwed up big at least three times. Oh well! We did catch some awesome track and field events: the men's steeple chase, the women's 10,000 meter race, men's shotput, women's discus, some short sprints, and women's pole vault. Each event was exciting. First, the steeple chase by nature is ...

... an hour, but eventually it just got REALLY crowded. We watched the fireworks behind the arch at the end of the street, which was pretty awesome, then we headed home. It was an awesome experience. Thursday was another practice day. Again, nothing special. On Friday, I was invited to go to a multicultural festival by the Olympic Stadium. We walked in and saw the giant horns that originated in the alps lined up along a hillside. To the left were the 12 men in liederhosen that we'd hoped ...

... the 8 hour trip went by very fast. After arriving in Munich we checked into our hostel. So far it seems okay. The rooms are a decent size and seem clean. We have a private attached bathroom. And the location is good. It´s near the train station and close to the city center. Even though we arrived later in the day we have already seen a lot of the main sights. We walked over to the Marienplatz which has the Rathause (town hall). There is a ...

Day 10-highlights pt 2 On this same day after stopping in Austria, the homeland of the Governer of California, we headed off into Germany. Driving through Austria was BEAUTIFUL and felt like home. The mountains and the snow,...it was awosme. After that, I slept pretty much all the way to Munich, which we finally arrived in around 5pm. And we only had 30min, before we had to be back on the coach and head to Octoberfest. So the ...

... it could have been. Because I am typing this at the end of the trip, I can tell you that the lack of English captions in museums proved to be true more often than not on this trip. I only expect them because they have been present in other countries to which I have travelled where English is not used as often as it is here. Usually the only option, then, is an ...

... but she ended up not being able to take me, so I spent my new years watching a Grease marathon. When it got to 11.30 I went for a bit of a walk to see the fireworks down the street. They were incredible! I tried to take some photos but because my flash takes so long, by the time I took the photo it was just of a black sky. THe fireworks display lasted for over an hour. I walked back to Cori´s and saw the rest from her balcony. Cori had an amazing view of all ...

... olympic stadium to see the last half of the brazil-ghana match. after that we found the former israeli delegation residence from 1972 where the massacre occured, and followed that with a visit to the memorial of the same incident. tomorrow i continue the cheerfullness in the morning with a trip to dachau - which will be my first visit to a concentration camp (i´m hoping it´ll prepare me for aushwitz). tomorrow night i´m taking the overnight to ...

... those keys are reversed on the kezboard I have...sorrz, but I'm not going to go back and correct all these. At least I don't need to use either letter to spell ENRICO. Update...we are now out of Italz after 14 dazs and San has turned depressed on me. We've had all the conversation about what does he have that I don't. etc? but, I guess the heart is winning over the head. Flash.....the concierge at the hotel is GUNTHER. So, here we go again....at least she is in much better spirits ...
