Well, we have made it to Munich safe and sound. Our travel plans went off without a hitch, though we were not able to pack as much into the day as we had originally hoped. As I type this, it is about 9:30 PM here and the kids are all in their rooms exhausted from a long day of travel, new experiences, the bustle of a big city and trying to come to terms with all they have already experienced.
We were able to most of what we had planned today. However, because our plane got in a little late and because of a long line-up at Passport Clearance, we were not able to make it to the Deutsche Museum today.
The students did enjoy the train ride in from the airport and the Marianplatz area, which is just a 10 minute walk from our hotel. Many students ventured into the world of Germany Pizza and other baking for dinner, but there were a few who were very curious to find out what a German Big Mac would taste like ("just not quite the same...").
Friday, Canada Day, will see us getting up and meeting for breakfast at 8:30, and then heading out for the Dachau Memorial tour at 10:00, a tour of the English Garden and then likely back to the Marianplatz for more interesting sites.
If there are photos here, that will be wonderful. Because I have signed in to do this blog on a German internet service, the instructions have all come up in German. Photos might just have to appear after I get some guidance from a German speaker.
