Today we slept in after being out again really late last night...Did math for a while (both Leslie and I have math to get done), and then went to the train to go to Munich. Leslie's friend Carson joined us too, who was a foreign exchange student last year in Michigan.
It was beautiful out, so we walked around the Englischer Garten...
Which had the Chinese Tower (where they were playing traditional Bavarian music) and ate supper (I ate something that tasted extremely similar to a hot dog...).
And saw an African drumming band type of thing in the park.
And saw surfing.
Yes. That's right.

Surfing. In Munich. On a river.
After WW2, America, France, and Britain had West Germany (which includes Munich/Bavaria). And apparently, some of the American soldiers (probably some surfer boys from Cali...) missed surfing so much, that they somehow created waves (maybe with rocks or something?) on the Eisbach (Ice River). Pretty sweet. :)
We walked around some more of Munich...Which, I just have to say, I love the buildings here, and the sidewalks, and the streets. It is so European. haha.
Ooh, and we saw the Peace Angel statue of Munich...Which was also pretty.
Then caught the train back home.

Oh, and I also learned an English word from a German-specifically Dominik-today...yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. That's extremely pathetic and sad that a German just taught a native English speaker a word...
Anyway, the word was 'snit' (a state of agitation or irritation). As in, "he was in a snit." and it was just like...seriously? Who even says that!?
Not me.
Anyone else ever heard of that word?
I miss you and love you guys! I wish you all were here to experience all this with me.

AUUUGGGHHHH....just wrote a terribly clever little ditty to you and appeared to have lost it in the posting. What is up with that.
ReplyDeleteLOVE reading your blog Nat!! Your pictures are great, your writings are funny and so descriptive I feel like I am there (well, kinda). I can imagine that feeling that you want others experiencing the awesome sights with you. You lucky duck. Teach the Germans that little phrase :)
Enjoy the last leg of your adventure - love you and miss you.
