Munchin' in München

For the past two days we've been in Munich, Germany. Yesterday we just ate a lot since it was raining, but we didn't mind! First thing we did was get bratwursts and they were amazing.

As soon as it started to rain we ordered some hefeweizens and a giant pretzel. A man next to us must have overheard us speaking English and he asked where we were from. Turns out he's a professor at Auburn. We chatted a bit with him and he was great. Such a small world!

Once the rain cleared we walked around the market in the city center and got some awesome homemade pickles mmmmm. 

We noticed that a lot of people do not speak English here, so that was a huge challenge. However, the people that do speak English are super nice and helpful. 

Yesterday was So. Much. Food. 

Today, the weather was perfect and we walked across town to the famous English beer garden. On the way we walked through a little park and saw wild bunnies! 

Once we got to the park we saw some adorable baby duckies with their parents: 

After getting close enough to snap some pictures we literally got chased away by three very angry, honking geese. It was terrifying. Some guy on a bench was laughing at us while the geese chased us. 

In the park there's a really cool natural wave the comes out from under a bridge and the local people surf it!! It was the craziest thing. There were about 15 people around it waiting to take turns and they were all so good! I have no idea how to explain how it works but here's a picture: 

It was just like being on the beach at home!! (Not at all.)

We walked around a bit more and finally came upon the beer garden. We decided to go all out and get the whole liter. So. Much. Beer. 

After the first one it was finally time for lunch and We got some sauerkraut which I love, and of course another giant pretzel. Here's the whole feast: 

Afterwards we chilled around the park some more. 

We went back to the hostel and took a quick nap, then walked around the city. We went to the Hofbräuhaus but didn't eat there because it was super busy. 

Munich is another beautiful city with a fun culture and great people. We will both be back one day! Tomorrow we catch an early train to Berlin. Woohoo!
