Day Before the Traveling Begins

Tomorrow is the first day of traveling (though being in Munich for me is already traveling!). We are going to Amsterdam on a night train, I am extremely excited to begin the part of the trip where we are moving from country to country.

Today was spent bicycling around Munich doing some errands, going to the English Garden, watching M. swim in the English Garden river, lunch, then more walking around Munich before dinner. After lunch we went to downtown Munich - we started at Odeonsplatz (when we got off the Uban). We walked to Marienplatz, on the way we passed Maximilianstrasse and the Opera house. Maximilianstrasse is known for its exclusive boutiques (designer stores) so it is very expensive and elegant. When we got to Marienplatz, we walked around since we had been in the area a couple days before. We passed City Hall which is called Rathaus. Then we went to the Tal - which is the street between Marienplatz and Isartor. Tal is German is a valley so instead of saying I am on Tal, I say I am in Tal; so while in Tal, M. and I sat at a street cafe and had some drinks. Tonight will be spent with M.'s family since we are leaving tomorrow on a 3 week trip.
