Today we started off walking to the Deutsches Museum but stopped along the way as mass was ending outside the Rathaus for Corpus Christi.  After that we waited around the Marienplatz for the Glockenspiel to play.  The Glockenspiel is like a life sized music box that tells a story.  There are two levels of figures that move.  We both enjoyed it.

After that we walked to the Deutsches Museum and had a pretzel along the way.  The museum wasn't as impressive as I was expecting.  The model train wasn't operating and was significantly smaller than that at the museum of science and industry in Chicago.  The museum was designed to be interactive which we enjoyed but overall the Chicago museum is better.  We were there for most of the afternoon then went to the Frauenkirche.

The Frauenkirche is a large cathedral with two onion topped towers Hofbrauhaus

 .  Christine enjoyed it but I thought it didn't compare to the other cathdrals we had already seen.

It is cold here.  Yesterday we were wearing almost everything we brought but today wasn't as cold.  At least it hasn't rained.

We ended our day at the Hofbrauhaus again.  I finished my beer in only 50min tonight and Christine got farther than last night but couldn't quite finish it.  We both had meat again because which I love but Christine wasn't too thrilled about it.  She says you either eat meat or you don't eat at all in Munich.
