So this past weekend I had the wonderful opportunity to go to Munich Germany. Had no idea what to expect. because.... well i just didnt. when the plane was landing i got really excited because you looked down and all you could see was country. patchwork green and browns and then patches of pine trees and oh yeah houses sprouting up every so often. it was beautiful!!! finally the plane landed after a seven hour over night layover. which included two coffees and a muffin. and perhaps lunch but i dont remember. I ACTUALLY FINISHED A BOOK! I know amazing right!?? So as always I will highlight the trip instead of going day by day. It will stay more interesting for you that way.
FRIEND: So I went to Germany of course to see Germany but also to see a good friend. (i am gonna tell you a secret, it was more to see the friend than the other way around, but shhh dont tell anyone.) The person is remaining nameless, although most of you already know exactly who I am talking about. If you dont figure it out and then meet them! Okay so this person first of all gives the best freaking hugs ever. secondly makes me feel safe... thirdly understands.... that is all i have to say. about that. i mean i could ramble on and on about how amazing they are and how much i appreciate them in my life and such but this here would turn into a book about my friend instead of about my trip to Germany. Therefore I will resist the temptation and move on quickly. because if you havent noticed I love ranting about the amazing people in my life. you can call me optimistic its ok. haha.
FOOD: For once I was with someone who was willing to eat and eat and eat and eat without worrying about fatness. haha. it was a dream come true.
First day: sausage in a bun with mustard (love at first sight in other words), pretzel, with beer, Tons of Indian food DELICIOUSS! and more beer.
Second Day: Custard filled pastry with Germany´s version of a cappucino (didnt use ANY sugar in that coffee), sandwhich with pork, tomato, lettuce, and cream cheese with selected herbs, beer, crispy pork, dumplings, pretzel with sweet honey that cleared your sinuses right up, beer, oh and another beer.
Third Day: Ready for this... two coffees, a piece of cheese cake with apples and raisins on top, museli and yogurt with chocolate and nuts and fruit in it, A Nutty cinnamon roll, a beer, pizza, another beer, another beer. That was the extent of it. I know it doesnt really sound like a lot of food. but it was AMAZING! i loved my culinary experience in Germany. never thought i would drink so much beer and actually enjoy it. They mixed beer with lemonade and called it Radler. it was delicious. they also mix beer with coke which i didnt really enjoy as much. it was a little bit weird. i mean dont get me wrong i drank it. i wouldnt want to let it go to waste. haha.
SIGHTS: okay so the first day I got there I was literally going on zero hours of sleep. zilcho. so i am sorry that my memory of this day is not so great. what did i see... BMW buildings.. business buildings, showcase, and perhaps factory... all i know is that the architecture was amazing. and i saw a lot of really nice cars. Germany is where BMW is att!
Saw the stadium where the olympics were held in Germany. dont remember the year. because i am retarded. but i am sure you can figure that one out. again extremely modern architecture. Saw a lot of historical buildings that were in all different styles of architecture. Gothic, Rennaissance... etc. umm an outside market and beer garden. which is an awesome idea. a beautiful park that went for miles and miles. a man made wave in a river that the Germans made so that they could surf. thought that was funny.
ALPS: We went to this smaller typical cute German town that was filled with summer homes and little store fronts and bakeries. It was amazing. Mittenwald is what it was called i do believe. There is one little thing I didnt mention. This cute little town is at the base of the Alps. and the view is like nothing I had ever seen before. you look up and all you see is snowy mountains and I wondered how some part of nature can make you feel so small. there were crosses at the tops of peaks that people had made it up to. We took a walk through the hills not the Alps. and made it to a frozen lake. yes i saw a frozen lake. it was amazing and i was so happy. with a smile ear to ear. as we walked back we found a brewery and so of course we got a beer.
LANGUAGE: did not understand a word except for halo and ya. but those are farely straight forward. i kept wanting to revert to spanish and so I kept saying hola, adios, si and lo siento. people looked at me like i was nutso. I tried pronouncing some of the words that my friend was teaching me and was speaking German witha Spanish accent. HA. oh brother!
So another trip down. It is funny how every trip is different. You cant go in without any expectations you gotta just go in and see where life takes you. just live. and live... and live some more. oh and one more thing: THANK YOU FRIEND!
