Noch ein bier bitte! (another beer please!)

We had our next stop in my old home-town of Munich!! We saw all the typical sites on a typical (read: wet) German day - Marienplatz, the Deutshes Museum, and the pedestrian area down town. To start things off right in the food department (that is, to get Jacquie into the adventure of eating strange new things!) we went for dinner at . . . the Hax'n Bauer. If you don't know, a Hax'n is a knuckle, and here in Munich it is the #2 most higly recommended food - after white sausage (for breakfast!). I got my pig Hax'n which i love (think dark pork with cracklin all around on a big, big bone) and Jacquie her introdustion to the world of strange food.

Overall, Jacquie (to my relief) really enjoyed Munich - lovely old buidlings, great mass transit and overall clean and tidy. I was simply back home, so it was nice to know that memory serves me well. I was even able to fond my way to the Hofbrauhaus ( I know - it's not Augustiner, but you can't replace that fest-like atmosphere and it must be done by any first time visitor!).

Take a peek at our pictures, as well as this little clip of our visit there!
