munich day 1

We got to munich at 1100 and waited for the Sbahn7 which dropped us right (well 2 blks) at martin's door! We were greeted in the street (we were 30 minutes late bc we missed our local train) by martin and brought to his huge apartment. One of his roommates are out of town so we got the extra room which was already for us (2 queen sized beds) we slept until 10 the next day then me and megan set off on foot to see munich. We hit the city center (marienplatz) and went through the lovely market (viktualienmarkt) where we grabbed fresh squeezed juice and sandwich. Then shopped a little along the karlplatz shopping district and say the church of our lady and marienplatz cathedral before setting out on our own the the nymphenburg castle. We walked the grounds there and then headed back towards marienplatz before heading to the englischer garten (similar to central park in nyc) where we searched for the chinesischer turm famous biergarten. Megan and I had bratwurst and fries plus a liter. People watching there was very fun! They even had a band playing in the chinese tower. Afterwards we returned to martins place to catch him right before he fell asleep and megan went to sleep. The roommate then took me out for a couple hours later before I too went to sleep.
