Munich Day Two!

Day Two of Munich involved us going to the Andechs Monastery, which is famous for (among other religiousy typey things) brewing really, really, really, really, really good beer...

We took the train outside of Munich about an hour or so to Herrsching (Which means, of course, Mr. Sching), then took a bus to the monastery... A walk up the hill later, we were looking at a really old church and wondering where the beer was...

Along with ridiculously good beer, they also had some really good food... Various parts of various pigs roasted or broasted or crispified to perfection... It was a gorgeous day, there was beautiful scenery, and we had good food and drink... All in all a great experience...

Then we headed back to Munich, took a nap, then got up for dinner at the Lowenbrau biergarten... If you're not sensing a pattern to our days in Munich yet, you may want to re-read the last post...

On to Munich!

You might just be realizing that I'm still talking about Europe even though I've been back in the U.S. for over two weeks... Well... Sometimes dem's da breaks...

So we grabbed a night train to Munich from Paris (which (by the way) I highly recommend over flying between or bussing between cities (You can sleep pretty easily on the couchette/bunk bed thing they have)) and arrived in Munich at 9am or so. Quite awesomely, our hotel already had our awesome room ready already, the guy at the front desk had awesomely awesome English skills, and the elevator (unlike Paris) was bigger than an awesome breadbox... We showered up, then headed out into the Munich streets...

We were within walking distance of the Marienplatz so we headed there and found the Augustiner Bierhaus, ate various sausages with kraut, mustard, and potatoes, then walked around some more... Then to Paulander for a beer, then a nap at the hotel, then off to the Augustiner Biergarten for dinner and beer... Yum!

Paris Day Two!

Again I'm feeling a little bit lazy, so I don't feel like writing a ton about Day Two (The captions on the photos take care of most of the highlights anyway...) so check out pics from Day Two here!

Paris Day One!

I don't really feel like writing an entire post about our first day, so I'll just link to the pics from Day One... Check them out here!

We're Home!

We're baaaaaaack! We arrived in Minneapolis last night at about 5:25 pm, and were greeted by Emma's parents, The Brothers Sherburne, and The Ladies Alwy... We were exhausted, but managed to stay awake long enough to eat some yummy snacks and then hit the hay...

I'm off to Chicago tomorrow for the Rush concert, Emma meanwhile will chill... However, I'm skipping a lot of stuff, as we were in Paris and Munich for the past 2 weeks... So I'll pause the current news and post about that old news...
