Hoebrauhaus

HB beer hall is the oldest in the world 1589.
Gina, Gary & Bill drinking 2 liter HB beer in the outdoor beer garden (garten in German)

Is that a beer hall or what?



Gina bought a large pretzel to go with her large beer.


Cute, cute, cute.




Beautiful Germany

The new Smart car sporty.














I fell in love with Germany

The streets of Munisch
Blooks & blocks of markets in the streets of Munisch.


Love the buildings not sure about the signs.

The tour buses are beautiful, clean and large windows.



Flowers & outdoor tables for eating everywhere.




Beautiful land

Gary, Regina & Gina went on a gorge hike.
Mountains in all directions. This pic was taken from atop a mountain going to a castle.

Gary & Gina in front of a wood carvers store.


I love this.



The front of most homes have flowers in windowboxes. The barns are connected to the houses to keep the animals warm in winter. No trash or litter anywhere.




Beautiful Germany

Isn't that a great swing!
A mime performing in the street. He was so good. Regina is on his arm.

Gina, Gary, Regina, Bill & Carolyn in a charming restaurant.


The cows all wear bells. Between 5 and 6 morning & evening the cows walk through the streets in Garmisch for a drink from the fountain.



Aren't they cute.




Munisch, Germany

Windowboxes of flowers everywhere.


Every town has a Maypole.






Town Hall




Munisch, Germany

Bikes are a big form of transportation as is subway and trains. Bill said he was the heavyest person he saw. Germans get a lot of exercise walking & riding bike, even in heels.


The subway is called S-Bahn.

Gary and Gina said the beer is very good, 2 liter mugs.


Inside the train terminal, Coke is everywhere, no Pepsi. We had train Number 30 and that wasn't the end.



Markets inside the train terminal, it was a lot of fun.




Dachau Memorial site

This is the entrance to Dachau, Hilter's Constration Camp. I hope no one is affended with this post. The movie and everthing about it was very disturbing to me, so I've tried to be careful what I post. Dachau has been maintained to honor those who died in the WWll holocaust and to educate the public about these crimes against humanity.
This is the Russian Church Memorial.

The Luthern Church Memorial has no 90 degree angles because Dachau was all 90 degree angles.
