Hello from Munich everyone! I am staying in Germany for ten days in the lovely city of Munich. I must confess I LOVE GERMANY. The houses are so cute, the trees are present (a change from Tunis), Their are beautiful Cathedrals everywhere you look and above all...its Christmas!
Germany does Christmas right, every part of the city is decked out and in the city centre the annual Christmas festival is taking place where hundreds of cute wooden booths are set up selling decorations and delicious food (Gingerbread, mulled wine, warmed nuts, candy apples = Katie is in food heaven). I don't think I will ever be content with a Beaverton Oregon Christmas again (with the exception of seeing my family of course!).
We have decided to spend our entire time in Munich and although this means we don't get to see Berlin or other wonderful citys, it does mean we can be completely relaxed and see everything we want to.
On Saturday we traveled to Munich on the eurail and went to bed way early.
On Sunday we spent the entire day in Mareienplatz in the center of town and enjoyed the Christmas festival. Then we ate dinner at the famous brewhouse- Hofbrahaus.
On Monday we went to the Deusches Museum. A science and technology musem that puts OMSI to shame!
On Tuesday we went to the world famous Alte Pinakothek art museum. There I was spoiled rotten with a Botticeli, Raphael, da Vinci and a Bosch.
Today we went to Dachau, where the wet grey weather matched our mood as we wandered through the site.
Tomorrow we are planing or going to Neuschwanstein (the Disneyland castle) and then who knows what for the next three days. We kinda want to do a random cathedral hopping day where we peek into every one we pass.
Well I have pretty much fallen in love with Germany however, I still can't wait to see everyone!

P.s We are cute <3!
