Hofbrauhaus
Hello again, we are here continuing where meg and emily left off! After our excursion to the '72 Olympic stadium and a free afternoon walking around historic München (Munich,) We made our way to the Hofbrauhaus where we indulged in some of Germany's most common cuisine. Our order consisted of an appetizer of potato soup, an emmensely large brat with kraut, and a dessert of authentic warm apple struddle. In the mean time we were entertained by a German folk band and folk dancers. The music was wonderous and created quite the ambiance. We also got to experince "whipper-snappers" who stood on the tables dressed in full leiderhosen snapping their whips in time with the music. A long night of merryment and conversation ensued before the group packed up for the short walk back to the Hotel, not forgetting to stop by the sovenier shop of course. Man, what an exciting day! The palace of Nymphenburg and its exotic surrounding gardens, originally a gift from the bavarian king to his Itallian dauighter-in-law and now owned by the state of Bavaria. Then a walk around the city that is the 1972 olympic park. And finally a night at the famous Hofbrauhaus! Fewwww! A morning trip to Dachau, awaits us tomorrow! See you then, Brian and Kristin!
