04/07/09 - Munich Day 2

This morning, we woke up and went to Karlsplatz. It was pretty crowded the whole way to Marienplatz, which is down a street lined with shops and restaurants. A band was playing. We heard Smoke on the Water and the James Bond theme. I bought 250 grams of strawberries on the way. They were only 1 euro!

In Marienplatz, the mechanical clock was chiming out a freaky little tune while the automatons twirled around.

When we had had enough of that, we went in Peterskirche and had a look around. Supposedly, it's the oldest church in Munich. There were bones and they scared Allen.

It was time for lunch after that. We walked over to Viktualienmarkt and ate some tasty soup. I had a fish soup and Allen had beans and weiner soup. We washed it down with a mixture of freshly squeezed grapefruit, orange, and lemon juice.

We went to the Alte Pinakothek (an art museum), but decided to visit tomorrow (Sunday) instead, as it is only 1 euro on Sundays.

So, we visited the BMW Museum instead. It's everything you've ever wanted to know about BMW! The best part was the cars on display. They had the cars from Golden Eye and The World Is Not Enough--the actual ones that Pierce Brosnan drove for the movies.

Allen ran into his friend outside the museum. I guess he was from the CS department at the UW. We saw some of the Olympic Park.

After we ditched Allen's little friend, we had dinner at an Italian restaurant. I know, I know...we were just in Italy. But I really wanted some Italian food...
