Munich
Müchen
Frauenkirche
June 29, 2005
As soon as we had unpacked and parked the car it began raining. The entire day was
overcast, but we managed to make it to the top of Frauenkirche for the views and
to the Residenz. As every American tourist does, we ate at the Hofbrauhaus to help
the Germans reinforce their stereotypes of us, but there I had the best meal of
the trip thus far: two brats, sauerkraut, and potatoes with a liter of Hofbrauhaus
original. I even had the half liter glass practically stolen, when my dad caught
me and put it on the table... he did the same thing years before and hasn't
stopped telling me the story of his great theft.
Congratulations, you stole a mug and I got caught by my dad who made me put it back.

We went to the Deuches Museum, which sells itself to be a combination of Disney
and the Smithsonian. I got bored quickly as is my personality and so soon headed
to Olympic park with Brent... and of course ate two brats on the way. On the way
back we headed in the direction of downtown, through the university section until
we again reached the old town and our hotel.
For dinner the family decided that we needed a break and really had to reinforce
the American stereotype that we started yesterday, so we went to the Hard Rock Café.
I had the cheeseburger with fries.
