Yesterday and Today

So yesterday I didn't  post because it was mostly uneventful in that we went to a museum that used to be someone's house, the Lenbachhaus Museum.  The things that people called 'art' were just ridiculous! It really was one of those places.  There was a circle on the wall with a whole bunch of little black line- looked like a game of Pick-Up Sticks.  Then there were huge squares on the wall, with one that was all black with a tiny corner that was white, and then a white square that had repeating numbers so faint that you couldn't really read it.  Needless to say, we left in a quick hurry and just hung out in the old city area for a few hours and then came back to the hotel.  Then after we had our movie time we went to the Hofbrauhaus!  It was so freakin awesome, really hot, and FULL of drunk people.  It's amazing how many mugs they can hold at once.  We made friends with the German (older) guys at the table near us and they invited us to sit with them- that's when we found out they were really freakin creepy!  Oh well.  We had fun anyway!  Please believe I had the biggest beer you can get!  They close at 11pm so we left at like 10:15, hit the gift shop, and then back to the hotel.  On the way back we stopped by a fountain to get a picture and these young guys came up and was like we want photo- we thought they wanted us to get a picture of them.  Turns out they just wanted to be in our picture and when I tried to speak German to them it wasn't coming out very well so I just stopped trying- good thing because they were Italian! HA!

Today we went to the Neuschwanstein Castle.  It was started in 1869 and finished in 1886 by King Ludwig II but then he died shortly thereafter so there are rooms that weren't decorated.  The tour was of all the completed rooms and it literally lasted all of 20 minutes.  It was a huge castle in the Alps that was a bitch to climb up the hill to get to it.  Not only was it winding, but it was also very steep and it started to rain.  Not cool.  For those of you who know, please pray for my hammies! :):)  Anyway, after the castle we were supposed to go luge-ing and take a cable car to the top of one of the mountains but the clouds were really thick- we couldn't see the top and it was apparently really gross at the top.  And we couldn't luge because the track was too wet.  GRR! However, we came back to Munich and now have the rest of the night off to work on school shit.  We leave tomorrow for Nuremberg.  Until next time...
