Train: NONE!
Day Seven: 26 December
So you get two updates today as I failed to give you an update yesterday. (My apologies)
We got to spend the whole day in Munich, and we took full advantage of this by sleeping in! But not too much, we were out and running by 11.
We decided to get one of those guided tour busses where you hop-on and hop-off when you want. We first just took the full loop, then stayed on and got off at the stops of interest and walked around Munich. Munich was a cool city, lots of statues and monuments. One of the cool things about the city is that they don't really have tall buildings, so the church spires stick out. Our tour guide told us that an unwritten rule of the city is to not build anything taller than the spires. Just like the other German cities, Munich was clean and the residents were friendly. It was also cold. I think it was the coldest day of our trip, which is funny since we were in the Alps prior to that.
For dinner we went to the Hofbrau House. This place is pretty difficult to fully describe, but its essentially a huge beer hall which also serves delicious food. The place is massive - filled with long picnic style tables where you seat yourself (if you can find a seat) It seems to be always crowded! The atmosphere was tons of fun, so much so that we went back the next night as well.
Here's someone else's video of the place. These guys were playing music both of our nights there as well.
It was so cold that even the gargoyles were freezing!

Sarah and Jace, I hope that you are warm this evening. I just saw on the "Nightly News" that most of Eurpoe is without natural gas for heating and that it is very cold there tonight. We pray that this does not affect you and that your life there can continue to be as exciting as ever! Take Care! Laura
