A Day of Adventures in Munich
Greetings from the Central & Alpine Europe tour!
Today we went to the Deutsches Museum, which is a huge science and technology museum here in Munich. There were lots of exhibits on everything from aeronautics to the history of photography and lots of interactive exhibits to help the learning process. We tried to get through the whole museum, but there was just too much stuff.
After the museum, a group including the three professors, Annie, Nicole, Nina and Leah headed to Schloss Nymphenburg, home of the Bavarian kings. We saw the impressive ornamentation of the various rooms and King Ludwig’s “Gallery of Beauties” and had fun taking pictures on the grounds. After that, we headed to the Lowenbrau Haus for a traditional German meal of pork, sauerkraut and beer.
After dinner, we decided on a whim to head up to the Olympic Park. We noticed huge crowds heading with determination in the direction of the park and wondered what was going on. To our surprise, we were right in the middle of an AC/DC concert crowd!
More later on our continued adventures.

I am glad to hear of your visit to the Olympic Park! I was an exchange student in 1972 and visited there just after the Olympics. It is wonderful that it is still being used.
