Tschuß to Bad Mergentheim, Hallo to München!

I gave my final exam this morning, graded it, and caught the train to Munich, on a 250 kilometer per hour train!  250 times 6/10 equals 150 miles per hour!  It was practically flying.  Even quickly passing the fast cars on the Autobahn alongside at one spot!

Munich is a fun place, and very busy with a) tourists and b) many Middle Easterners.  The area around the train station makes you feel like you are on the streets of Turkey or Saudi Arabia.

A typical tiny European hotel room.  The bathroom is just barely big enough.

The most decorated church I've ever seen.  The amazing Asamkirche from 1746.



Looking up at the fully-painted ceiling.

Death cutting the string of Time.

The "New" City Hall.

A department store where they don't sell worms.

A version of the Bavarian flag.

Gravestones on the side of the church.

Of course, I don't drink ... but you can't go to Munich and not visit the Hofbrauhaus.

Another food picture ... the best rhubarb tort.
