Munich---Beer Town

August 1st, 2007
We first stopped at the largest crystal factory known to man... Swarovski Crystal!!! Contiki made a special stop for us because we realllly wanted to and we had enough time, and basically because our driver and tour guide kick ass. It was the coolest selection of jewlery I have ever seen in my life!! I bought necklaces, earrings, and pencils! It was soo beautiful... us girls were lucky :)

We then were off to Germany where we made a special stop at Duchau Concentration Camp in which we pretty much walked in silence all around the camp, observing and reading all the information that was posted there. We walked in the museum and of course went and saw the very shocking and sad crematorium and gas chambers. It was a very sad to actually be there but everyone was grateful we made it there. There is a lot more to Germany than beer.

We were back on the road to MUnich- we went straight ot he city for some free time. Walked in one of the churches to fit our foot into a little tile piece on the ground.. if ur foot fits then that means ur the devil! Mine did not fit.. haha. I loved mUNich!! It was very americanized, clean and organized. We ate bratwurst and of course huge yummy pretzels... The people there were extremely nice too!

Time for the Haufbraus house!!!!! The biggest beer place in Munich!! I went to the Oktoberfest tent in October, but this time I was in the actually building. It was sooo cool. Very big! We all got gigantic beers.. swinging them back and forth.. dancing the chicken dance, yes i know we did it cuz we were drunk, and had an amazing time! They had live music and dancing on the stage and involved the audience! Some people had a beer, others had four. They were very heavy and at least a liter of beer!

CRAZYY nIGHt-- Munich <3>
