Next stop on the European Tour: Munich, Germany! We were so excited to experience Bavaria. It was an incredible region with great food--the soft pretzels (brezen) and the white beer (weissbier) were unforgettable.
Beautiful castles and lots of taverns.
The German flag
The Rathaus (city hall)
One of the most famous buildings in Munich, the Glockenspiel, double clock towers (seen in the reflection of that window...)
A more direct view of one of the Glockenspiel, down a cute street.
Sissy soaking up the sun during our snack break...stands selling local produce lined the streets--including stands selling the German staple, white asparagus (spargel).
We took a day trip over to Dachau, the Nazi concentration camp. It was one of the most incredible experiences of my life-being there, in the very spot, where such atrocities were committed. This is the gate where most prisoners entered, under the Jour Haus. It reads, "work brings freedom," and represents the brain-washing that took place at this site. The camp was made out to be a 're-education and training' facility.
I'll only include one more photo of Dachau, even though I could make an entire post with lots of pictures and detailing everything that I learned there, since most probably do not want to see these photos.
This is the old trench and barbed wire fencing with a watch tower overlooking the barracks of the camp.
Ending on a very representative image...the street signs of Bavaria. :)
Look for images from Edinburgh, Scotland soon!!
