More about day one
... only reasonably priced thing we've found in Germany so far, at 20 Euros for all five of us for any public transport for a full day! The train ride into Munich was about 35 minutes. The airport is way out of Munich, about 40 kilometers, and it's a lot of farm land between it and town...not suburbs...that surprised us. But we did start to see houses and apartments, which really do look so different from America. Not a lot of adornment....very efficient and practical ...

Now at this point I’m ready to go, but Kelli really wanted to eat there so we tried again and he came over, took our drink and food orders and was nice! I’m still not sure what was going on with him.

How could any human being be so cruel to other human beings? I just hope that this history would never be repeated and ...
"If you fall, I will catch you..."
... views are to be had everywhere you turn. We checked out some yodeling stuffed bears (he,he,he), the famed Golden Roof (quite small in reality) and the old Olympic Ski Jump Stadium from the '76 Tyrol Games. At the top of the tower, you can stand at the platform where the ski jumpers take off, which reinforced just how crazy these atheletes are (check out the photos)! However, the cherry on top, was when we sat down for lunch in the empty stadium just as two ...
