Third Day in Munich

Here is a list of the activities for the day: champagne at M's grandparents house in Gruenwald, lunch at Woernbrunn, relaxing time at M's apartment, then the concert Toto in Beuersbreun.

M's grandparents house is very beautiful and well decorated - with tons of artwork and sculptures throughout the house. Every bedroom has a patio attached (except for one), a feature I loved.

The restaurant was a traditional Bavarian restaurant. I had a drink called Redler which is a mix of beer and lemonade. For the meal I had the duck with blaukraut and shared some wienerschnitzel. For dessert we shared Kaiserschmarrn (which I believe is bread soaked in eggs, cream, and rum with strawberries, vanilla ice cream, and whipped cream on top), needless to say it was scrumptious.

The concert had a downpour of rain throughout the entire performance plus a strong wind which managed to spray rain in your face while holding an umbrella - added to the fact that I did not bring a raincoat or enough umbrellas (for everyone who came to the concert with us tonight). Anyways, the music was great. Wishbone Ash opened up for Toto - the guitarist was amazing. Toto's concert was dedicated to Michael Porcaro because he has a terminal illness. Toto has not played together for a couple years - so it was a real treat to see them. They played Rosanna, 99, Hold the Line, Africa, Pamela, as well as many other songs.
