Yesterday was a long day. M. and I met up with a friend from Syracuse, Z. Z. came over right after we ate breakfast and joined M.'s family and I (mother, father and brother) to the museum called Pinakothek der Moderne. This museum is dedicated to artwork from the twentieth century and onward. The beginning paintings (by Neo Rauch) we saw were very difficult if not impossible to understand without a guide explaining it. Neo Rauch attempts to point out the idiosyncrasies of government.
After walking through almost the entire exhibit, we all went to lunch at Bei Mario's - which is an Italian restaurant. It is one of the oldest Italian restaurants in Munich, it opened in 1966. The food was incredible, as was the table wine (tafelwein). Then we went for gelato - the place had a line at it which is a good indicator on its popularity.
We parted ways with Z. only to meet back up with him to go to Mocca lounge. Mocca lounge is a hookah bar with Middle Eastern food, drinks and decorations. We had grape hookah, rum drinks, and a platter of appetizers including hummus with bread and baba-ganoush.
It was a nice relaxing day with M.'s family. Z spent a great deal of time speaking with M's father and brother because Babe, his mother and I rode our bikes from place to place while they (Joe, father and brother) walked together. Overall it was a great day and I cannot wait to meet back up with Z in Rome!
Sounds like you're taking to Munich like a real pro!!
