"Wow,
for the last 36 hours I have had maybe 15 minutes of
sleep. The plane ride was great. Jessica brought
"No-Jet-lag Pills" so very diligently we took them every
two hours. It worked. The in-flight movie was 'Good Will
Hunting' a movie I've been wanting to see for
ages.
"We stepped out of the airport in our
tank tops and shorts to meet 52 degree weather. Sweaters
were found and our tour guide was found too--a short
woman with long white hair and a very strong accent.
Munich reminded me a lot of Beaver Creek and when we got
to the hotel it was pouring rain.
"We were given 4 hours to find lunch,
swim, sleep, etc. until dinner. First Mary, Kelly, John
W. Andy T, Stephen G, Jessica and I tried to find a bank.
No luck. Then Jessica, Andy, Stephen and I walked around
looking for food. Again no luck. Third of all, John B,
Emily and Jessica and I got 'lost' and wandered around
Munich for 3 hours with no clue where to go. It was also
pouring rain.
"The inner city where we went for
dinner was amazing. Huge castles and towers everywhere
and, due to the World Cup, a huge movie screen was set up
in the Central Plaza where replays and live bands were
shown. Amazing stores.......... Susanna and I paired up
and 'checked out' the guys. We met several, but by far
the most interesting were the two 20-year-old Dutch boys.
We also met 2 blond boys our age, but they were in a
hurry.
"The dinner was hearty and I didn't
finish it due to concerns for my health. My alarm is set
for 7:15 tomorrow. Get ready for a 4 hour trip to
Salzburg."
