Guten Tag!! Greetings from München! What a fantastic day! On our journey today we headed to the site of the 1972 Summer Olympics, especially known for the unfortunate terrorist attack on Israel’s Olympic team. As we entered the Olympic park, our first stop was the hockey arena that is still used today. Next we ventured past the Olympic pool where Mark Spitz swam. The pool is open to the public and we saw many people enjoying the facility. It is also being renovated into a fitness club for the community. Next we got to see the stadium. WOW what a sight!! It was absolutely mind blowing. We spent time wandering around the empty stadium exploring the different views. Those seats are pretty tiny! Our next stop was the Olympic Village. This was used to house athletes during the Olympics and today is housing for families and students. They are referred to as the “beehives” because they were built to allow maximum sunlight on each balcony. It was really cool to see families and little kids outside playing. We also got to see the actual apartment where the terrorist attack took place. There is a nice memorial stone. The weirdest part is while we were viewing the apartment, a family walked out! After walking through the village we stopped into the BMW headquarters to use the bathroom. Man those cars were cool! The rest of the day was spent wandering the city center, enjoying local food and experiencing some of the neat shopping sites. Tonight we are off to the famous Hofbrauhaus for a real cultural experience! Shout out to Mom & Dad Johnson and Mom & Dad Mielke, oh and of course all the brothers & sisters! Miss you guys, LOVE YOU! Signed off for now, Em & Meg.
