Day 2 in Munich was a day trip about 2 hours south to a town on the ege of the alps called fussen. Its famous for having a fairy tale castle. So we did the hike up the mountain to it, then got to take some pictures and did te tour. The guy who built it seemed pretty crazy, but it was seriousl like a fairy tale castle.
After taking the train back to Munich, we decided to hit up the Hofbrauhaus, which is the famous big brew house there. It was crazy packed, and full of beer and polka. We managed to find a table on the second floor (of three), and ended up with a crazy waiter. After much craziness and many liters of beer, it was more staggering back to the hostel, my favy!
Day 3 in Munich was started with a subway trip to the BMW Museum/HQ. It was super clean and futuristic. We say all the highend cars, and did much oggling. We even saw people test driving cars inside of the showroom, to gie you an idea for how large the single roomed building was. I got lots of pictures, so you´ll see what I mean.
We then hopped back on the subway to the Enlischergartens, a big park with a pagoa nd a japanesse tea house. We walked around one half when it started to rain, so we headed back into town for some lunch. Little did we know that we happened down the Rodeo Drive of Munich, full of high end retail shops. So after waiting it out, we headed back into the city center to pick up some cheap food.
We then walked to the Residencemuseum. This is where the rulers of Bavaria had their city palace for hundreds of years, so it was basically thee most blinged out house I have ever seen. There were rooms made out of gold, like the entireceiling, with the walls all marble and it went on and on and on. Eventually, we ran out of time, because we had to meet up for dinner with the others, so we tried to find our way out by backtracking a little, much to the dissatifaction of the many gaurds who wanted us to see the whole thing.
We were meeting up in the main city center, but what we hadnt planned on was that there was a Gay Parade/PARTY in the center of the city. So we eventually found the others, then decided to enjoy the free outdoor concert they were throwing. Some of the acts were good, some not, but it was all a good time. We then grabbed our bags from the hosel and boarded the night train to Berlin.
After a long night for myself (I had the hardest seat on the train in my opinion), we made it to Berlin, an navigated to the hostel. After the hostel owners called up their english speaking buddy, we checked in successfully, and Mark, Alex and I took a nap while Angela and Adam went to see some of the city. We then met up for dinner (curry wurst is my new favorite fast foo item), then checked out checkpoint charlie. After roaming he museum for a few hours, we headed back to the hostel, so that i can finally update the blog (hurray)!

Wow, the BMW museum sounds really fun! I can't wait to see the pictures.
I think it's awesome that you were able to see your first gay pride parade/party. What were some of the entertainment acts?
No new news to report besides the fact that you're dating a girl that got a B IN MAMM PHYS!!!!! :-D
I was so happy when I checked testudo! I am having a nice time at home. Mom says to tell you that we somehow spent 4 hours at Bowie Town Center yesterday. I got some squishy new flip flops that feel like heaven to my feet. We ate at Panda Express and now Mom's hooked!! hahahah. It's hot as hell here (yup, still no AC... I think they're waiting until it's 1000 degrees).
Tomorrow morning, we are taking my Dad to the airport. He is flying out to Colorado for 3 weeks to camp and fish with my aunt and uncle.
Keep having fun and get enough sleep! I love you bunches! XOXO
I loved this blog...so much detail! Can't wait to see the pictures of the fairy tale castle and the Alps. Ok, is the staggering part or the hostel part your "favy"? Munich and the area sounds like it is very interesting. I'm looking forward to hearing about Berlin. Daddy got your e-mail on the Sept. plans..looks like "tag, your it" for the l-o-n-g drive from Atlanta to Natchitoches and the return with the boys...a road trip with the guys, sounds like a fun time! Nothng else new to report. I haven't heard from Kristen and Jill for several days. The last report was from Prague. They've since been to Vienna, Venice, Ancona and should be taking an overnight ferry to Croatia tonight where they will be until the
20th. They've had a very ambitious schedule so far but the rest of the trip is a bit more leisure with multiple days in the rest of their locations. I look forward to hearing from you again soon. Cassie, congrats on your mamm phys!
Hugs and kisses, Mom
Did you get to test drive any BMW's?
Also, how did Mark like his Kirschwasser? Did philosopher Mark make a grand reappearance?
Tell everyone I said hi, and tell Mark that I didn't do as well as he did on the MCAT.
