3 of the best days!

The past 3 days.. or maybe it's 4 or 5 I don't really know... have been totally awesome. I'm pretty sure that the last time that I posted here I was in Köln and said that I would be leaving for München on the next day. Well what a surprise... that is exactly what I did!

Here's the abridged version.

I pulled into München at about 5:00 in the evening and had a little looksee to see what the city was all about, and it turns out that they have a really pretty center area. I then parked myself at a small park in the downtown area and played my guitar for quite awhile... I didn't want to walk more than 2 miles or so with my big pack. It was all pretty cool, I even met a kid and his father that offered to let me stay at there house after a 10 minute conversation. Germans are the coolest people ever. Anyways, after awhile I caught another train to Pasing which is the suburb of München where Michael lives.

After I got to Michaels house we went out to a local spot and and had a gigantic dinner with his friend Ewe (pronounced oovah), which was killer, and after that it was pretty late so we all went to bed.

I'm going to have to realise at somepoint that I will never be able to write as much detail in this blog as I would like... so I'm really going to commence the abbridgement this time...

The next day was pretty lax. Michael and I went out on the town to see some of the sights, but unfortunately it rained all day. So after a couple of hours of walking about in the rain we decided that we should do something indoors. So we went and saw the new Ice Age movie. It was the first time that I've been to a movie theater in like 3 years, and I have to say if mojvie theaters were as cool as they are in Germany I might actually consider going more often. Granted they are still absurdly expensive, but the seats are sooooo comfortable, like a really really poofy couch and the theaters and screens are altogether smaller. It's awesome, and luckily I could actually understand what they were saying in the movie! Yay for understanding german on a Kindergarten level. After the movie we pretty much just went back to the house and talked and then went to bed. We also ate dinner somewhere in there.

Sunday was probably the coolest day yet! Michael and I went out for the whole day for a bike tour of some of the Bavarian countryside. It was sooo fun and beautiful. We rode the whole day through tons of beautiful green farmland and rolling hills. It is totally beyond words. About 3/4 of the way through the ride we went "swimming" at a nudist beach on the side of a lake. I say "swimming" because only Michael did any swimming. The water was just too cold for me so I just chilled out outside of the water instead... worked on my tan. After we finally got home from the long day of bike riding (I worked it out and we went about 70km which is a little bit more than 40 miles.) I cooked Michael and Ewe a stir fry for dinner. It turns out that any food that isn't bread, cheese, or sausage is considered a foreign food and is bound to get mixed reviews... hopefully the next one turns out better. I'm going to not make it so spicy this time around.

Monday was something of a travel day. I caught a train from München to Göttingen to Mühlhausen, where Danny lives and it took about 5 hours. It was good to finally see Danny again... It has been more than a year! Danny and her mother Connie picked me up from the train station, which was killer and we didn't really have much time left in the evening after I got off of the train (Train is coincidentally the band that I am listening to as I write this), so I we had a wonderful homecooked meal, went on a short walk, and then pretty much just went to bed.

Today (it's 10pm ish here right now on Tuesday btw) was a lot of fun too. We had a delicious breakfast, and then made our plans for the day. Danny parents happen to be on their Vacation break right now, and so today we went to a town called Eisenach and went on a pretty cool hike. I wish that I could describe just how beautiful everything is here, the greens are jsut plain greener and the air is fresher. It's soooo beautiful. I love it! About 1/2 way through the hike we stopped a a little place up on the mountain and had another awesomely delicious german meal.

I'm going to cut it short this time.. I'll make sure that I finish my story on the next post. But I have to get to bed. Nobody likes the guest that stays up all night and makes a ton of noise typing.

Catch you all soon
