Munchen

I had a three day weekend, and since I couldn't spend my 4th of July with my friends and family, BBQing, playing flip cup, listening to oldies and watching the fireworks at "the club" whilst my mother sang the National Anthem, I thought a weekend of travel was in order. At the last minute I decided to take a 3 1/2 hour train to Munich since I'd never been there and had heard it was lovely. Indeed it was!
My hostel in Munich. I got my own room, I couldn't hang with the idea of a 12 person co-ed dorm (with no age limit...I saw men my fathers age walking around with beers in the lobby...eek).
Munchen Subway wait.
Munchen Subway car.

Munchen at night. (Casinos and "candy bars" everywhere)
I met these French students at my hostel and they convinced me to go to a disco with them until the wee hours. They spoke French and German and a little English but they were loving practicing on me and asking me 100s of questions.  I had a great time with the Frenchies!
They all asked me if I had Facebook, and luckily I always carry a little notebook around with me. I awoke the following morning to a list of French names requesting my friendship. Haha I had loads of fun with them.

OMG. I found sushi!! Take away randomish sushi, but not sketchy and still sushi. I was in heaven! NO one eats it here in Germany!  This was the first I've found since being in Germany (aside from in London, obviously).
St. Peter's Cathedral outside and inside. Glorious.
The ceiling of the cathedral. SO beautiful.
Munich, in Baveria, is THE land of Lederhosen.
Before I left I had to try my first Apple Strudel.
