Munich / München

We didn't get to spend much time in Munich. For a while, we were searching for a place to eat where it wasn't incredibly expensive. And we never found one. We settled on a place that had a good menu. Also, both Sonya and I ordered a liter of still water. It was glorious.

















Jake had a few places he really wanted to go related to his Nazi class. So we basically followed him around. We found the place where one of Hitler's very early but famous bar hall marches ended. There's a plaque in the ground to memorialize it. It's funny because most people don't even realize it's there; or they know but don't care. Very rarely you see someone stop to actually read it. Also, he found a memorial to Sophie Scholl and the White Rose. I'm not really educated on all the history here, but it was something they studied in the class, too. We saw the capitol building and a memorial garden / park.






















One really interesting thing about Munich is the lions. There are statues of lions all over the city. All of them are doing something different or painted in a different way. I wanted to get a picture with a few of them, but we ran out of time and had to hurry back to the bus so we didn't get left.
