1.7.10--Holzkirchen und München
So today we had school, ate some lunch, watched a movie, etc. Didn't understand this movie/like it as much as Tuesday's, but oh well. You win some, you lose some. After a short break, we all met up again to go to München. Herr Keel gave us a small guided tour of the Altstadt (old town), and then we went to the Hofbräuhaus for dinner--good, but huge, loud, and touristy. They serve beer only in the liter size (ein Mas), but its tasty. I had Bockwurst mit Kartoffelnsalat, and it was a pretty small meal. Didn't really matter though, cuz the size of the beer made up for it. Got apple streudel for dessert, and it was yummy. There was a live german band playing, and after a while, a few of the guys decided they were gonna ask some girls to dance, so they went up to them, and started dancing, and found out they were from Arkansas (where 2 of the guys are from) and go to U of Arkansas (where those 2 go to school). Small world.
2.7.10--Holzkirchen und Kirchsee
Today we had class, and then instead of eating in the cafeteria, we went to an Italian restaurant--Da Tosto. Delicious! Much much better than the sub-par cafeteria food. After lunch, a few of us took our bikes and rode ~45 minutes (10.5 km=6.5 miles) up and down a bunch of hills to get to the Kirchsee, which was really nice. Although it had mosquitos, it was pretty, and it was really nice to go swimming. It was also pretty shallow, by where we were, the deepest was probably 10 feet. We swam across the lake to the other dock, and then back, and then we just swam around, and had some fun. After a while, we rode back. Sadly, my host mom's bike was a bit too short for me, and I couldn't adjust the seat without a wrench, so it was really tiring. I ended up walking up all the hills and riding down (sooooo much fun!!!). And now, I am doing laundry for the first time. Yay clean clothes!
By the way, I put up the first round of pics... http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2047766&id=1135320260&l=86fabbd0f6
