Pictures from Munich

Here are pictures of most of our gang the first evening in Munich.





Ludwig II's Summer Palace!



Of course, we went to the Marienplatz to see the famous Glockenspiel. We saw it strike 11 am and it was a sight to behold with the figures spinning all around!










We had lunch at the Hofbrauhaus, one of Munich's most famous beer halls. 30,000 litres of beer have been known to be sold herei a day! The drinking age is 16 in most European countries, so Reid tried a beer. Sorry for the repeat photo of Neal and me, I got confused in my posting!












































Munich hosted the infamous 1972 Olympics, so we visited the Olympic Village and went up in the tower for a view of the city. We could barely see the Alps in the distance, but it was so hazy, the Alps don't show up well in the photo.
























As one might have imagined, all the guys went "wild" over BMW Welt (World). Todd took over 50 pictures alone in the exhibit. I went along for the ride, so to speak!



























A street actor in a table and musicians. Street actors and musicians were seen in all the cites we visited.


















































There is a large Muslim population in Munich; mainly Turkish people brought in for cheap labor.
