Only a few more hours in Munich...

Well, we had a fabulous time here in Munich. We took a Mike´s bikes tour yesterday. It was pretty much amazing! Thanks C & B for recommending it! We rode around the town of Munich and into the english garden. Its this beautiful park a lot like Central park in NY except twice as big! At one part there is a river that goes through called the Isir River and as a way of regulating the river, they stop it with dam-like things ( i know - i paid real good attention during the tour) but in the end, it creates these rapids that surfers play on. So we jumped in in our clothes. It was so much fun! We were swept downstream and climbed out about 100 feet later... then we did it again! Being the genius that I am, I jumped in with my sunglasses on my head :( Then we ate at a beer garden where they serve beer in 1 liter glasses! yikes! I tried a Radler - half beer and half lemonade. Sounds nasty but was pretty good! I just got a small glass though!

We ate amazing Bavarian food last night. I got something called the jagershnitzel and I dont know what it was but it was so good! I think the food is my favorite part...And we crashed pretty early.

Today, we experienced the City Laundry and have clean clothes again (YAY!) and then hit the park all day. I may actually get a tan! wow! Oh - and there is a thing in Bavaria called Free Body Culture. That means there are designated places where nudists can hang out. We walked by today and couldnt help laughing at all the 85 year old naked men.... not fun!

Miss you all! We have to go catch a train and are on to Italy! We will arrive in Milano in the morning and then get trains to Cinque Terra on the northern coast - where apparently foccacia was invented! yum!

casey - so sad I missed g! If I had known, I would have flown home!

Heather and friends - I´m glad to know the house isn´t getting lonely! enjoy :)

Love and miss you all!
