This morning we started out at the Deutsches Museum which we happened to come on a day with free admittance without even knowing it! Lucky. The Museum is for science and technology and was seriously so cool.
Katherine, I got so excited for you when I saw the optics. There was nothing to do with optometry, just microscopes. Sorry bout it.
Lots of sweet pianos
Caroline, we even found some flutes for you
Special exhibit on technology in the 1950s.
Dad, I think you should have had one of these
In the pharmaceutics section there was a giant replica of a cell magnified some amount of times that I don't remember but was a lot. Obviously, considering I am the same size as the golgi apparatus. Too bad we didn't see this in biology. It might have made the class a whole lot more interesting.
The lights in the pharmaceutics section were test tubes. So cool.
On the way back we saw a ton of school children in the metro. I don't have any desire to take a bunch of elementary aged children on the enormous Munich metro system.
But they were precious and had buddies.
Then we went to Allianz Arena. They play football (don't call it soccer or they get mad...) here. We took a fun tour!
FC Bayern's locker room.
We had a lot of people from the middle east on the tour. Perfect example of the enormous quantities of pictures they took of nothing.
Tunnel for the players, the entrance lifts out of the ground in 12 seconds.
On the field
Picture of middle easterners on our tour taking pictures. They all got solo pics in front of the audi car. The car was nothing special but the whole tour had to wait for them to take their pictures. Gave us a good laugh.
The outside is plastic. ANNND they can light up the outside red, white, or blue. Red for FC Bayern and blue for 1860. But I just think its patriotic for America.
After lunch and the tour at the Allianz Arena we headed to a beer garden called Lowenbrau Keller which was smaller than the others we have been to (only seated 1000) but it was still relaxing and nice. Then we headed to Marienplatz to stroll around and kill some time before dinner.
People in Munich actually wear the traditional bavarian dresses and overalls, we have seen people casually walking down the street. They have whole sections in department stores devoted to them. Someone please enlighten me as to what occasion you would wear these. We found one for 700 euros....
We ate dinner right near the Marienplatz, headed back to rest at the hotel, then went out for our last big night in Munich at the Hofbrauhaus.
Munich, you have treated us well.
