Day 2: Friday, May 23

We arrived in Munich, went through customs, and immediately began a two hour walking tour of the city center.  The tour guide was nice and casual.  He showed us the Ratskeller or city hall.  We went in a couple churches and then ate lunch at the Hofbrauhaus.  At the restaurant, some families had reserved tables that they sat at everyday.  I ordered veal sausage...which was definitely different.  One big difference: they all drink sparkling water instead of just tap water.

We drove to Reutte, Austria and finally were able to check into our hotel.  The hotel had been owned by the same family for over 400 years!  It was old and had a lot of character.  Anna and I's room was the size of a closet.  Dinner was perfect.  First bread and butter, soup, main dish, and dessert.

Reutte sits on the foothills of the Alps, and the view was gorgeous!  So many trees and all of the houses are pastel color--nothing looks out of place.

The gold in the street is the back ally where "Dodgers" walked.  They wanted to avoid paying homage to the memorial built for the 16 Nazi men who were killed, and later called martyrs.
