hey all!! sorry about the huge delay, but ive been really busy and struggling to get on the net. so ill just give some real brief points about places ive seen lately, and expand on them later!
munich was really nice, but very busy. it just so happens we were there when the newly appointed pope was paying a visit. i got a nice shot of him, but it did mean extreme business. the highlights of germany?? the beer!!! really awesome. i love the haufbrouhouse!!! that rocked. good times. also a bike ride was alot of fun. i wish they had those litre beers back home. the buildings were nice too, i really do like germany!

A bridge
our crazy Irish tour guide briefs us about the Luitpold Brucke bridge and the Friedensengel monument beyond. This guy was amusing, and also knew his stuff well.

Bike Tour Beer Garden
went on a cool bike tour around Munich. took us through the city centre, and past several landmarks to the beer garden in the Englishcher Gardens (main park of Munich). here we stopped to have drinks before continuing on with the tour. was fun having two litres of beer and gettin bike riding again :D

Dackow Concentration Camp
Actually on the way to Munich, we stopped at the Dackow concentration camp where so many Jews lost their lives in horrible circumstances during the second world war
