Munich

josh: blog has been down for a moment because google picked up on "unusual Internet activity" ... funny that didn t happen when we were blogging in Paris. ha.  getting it worked out.

today was another day in Munich... I must say, that many of you think, man what a romantic honeymoon josh has lined up!  nights in Paris watching the eiffel tower light up, gondola rides in venice, wine along the Mosel river looking up at the vineyards.... and then the history teacher sets in.  German Concentration Camp Tour.  not too many people can put that one on the honeymoon excursion list. ha.

in all seriousness, it was a good tour.  we went on a radius english tour of the camp, which sat outside munich.  our English guide was excellent and gave us very good information.  the "can't believe this is here moment" was walking through the gas chambers there... very chilling to think about.

never fear people, I made up for it in the afternoon with a bike ride through the English gardens, Europe's largest city park, with stops at a beer garden in. the park, and a view of the surfers.  yes, I said surfers!  the way the river flows through the park creates a wave' that you can actually surf on... YouTube it for a break at work.  it was a great day, although you have to be careful what you look at... nude sunbathing is perfectly acceptable, and of course all the subjects were old men. ha. definitely not moulin rogue material!

well off to the beer halls.... cheers!
