Munich day 1

I think Munich is a pretty sweet town. In spite of the fact it rained the first morning there, we hit a bunch of spots. First we ended up at the Marianplatz, which houses one of those clock towers with puppets that move every hour. Opposite that was St. Peter's, one of the tallest churches in town. We paid 1,50 to climb to the top (300+ stairs) and got an awesome panorama of the city.

Next we hit the Science Museum (yes, because we're engineers - shut up). It had some pretty amazing exhibits including a full-size cross-section of a U-boat (I now know what engine is going to be in my future boat), the first jet aircraft, and even an Enigma machine. Interestingly enough, the on Bismark ship they had was a cruisliner and we didn't see any German tanks. Hmmmm...

(Note - We've been cracking the "Nothing happened! Everyone was on vacation!!!" joke from Family Guy ever since :-p)

We then headed back to our hostel to check in. Thia was a major upgrade from AMS. In AMS we were in a 20 person room, here we had 3 beds and we were two of them. Waaay better. We ended up in the bar and met two Canadians, Mike and Ashley, who had yet to go to the Hofbrahaus, so we all joined up to go. They even had bought a subway pass good for up to 4 people (Mooching FTW!) We figured that 1L of beer is about 3.25 cans, so a baker's dozen later we were flying. I vaguely remember over the course of the night meeting some smoking hot spanish chicks and watching Greg hit on some girl who's brother had to inform him she was 15. Oh, and Mike got shit housed and swore the guy bringing us our beer was out to get him. Oh those silly Canadians. More to come...
