I never thought I would look forward to 40 degree weather...

We were able to go to Munich last weekend. It was an awesome trip. The sun was out and the weather was nice. I almost wanted to take off my jacket! It was perfect for our trip. We started out having to take about a 30-45 min walk to the train station which wasn't my favorite part but we were all able to talk and what not. We got to the train station and got our tickets where the lady got mad at me for taking too long. For the train ride we had to take a train up to Nuremberg to transfer to one that went back down to Munich which was weird. The train ride was fun. One of them was a two layer bus and we got to sit on the top. This dude on the train kept asking us if we wanted to buy any food or whatever and was like dancing and stuff. It was kinda weird and funny at the same time. When we got to Munich we first went to our hostel to check in and drop our things off. Then we took a rail down to the main part that was pretty close to the train station. First stop was a church building close to the main center. Then we walked to the Glockenspiel which is in the main plaza part. It was sooooo pretty. I love that building. After that we stopped at St. Peter's church. We were able to go inside and also paid like 1.50 euro to go up to the top of the tower that over looks the city. It was gorgeous! Another stop we made was the beer garden, which was fun. Then some of us split up and I was able to get my first doner kebob and also some gelato. I got some souvenirs too. Then we went to the Hofbrauhaus which is this huge super famous beer hall. That was fun and loud and hot. There are so many people drinking way too much in there. haha! The next day we all went to the Dachau concentration camp. We only got like half an hour there because we had to be back to Grafenwoehr to catch a train back to our side of the base. It was cool to see it though, and depressing. Hopefully this weekend we will be able to take a day trip to Amberg which is pretty close to where we are and we can just have an easy day.
