Germany pt. 2
Was there a part 1? I can't really remember.
So...I don't really remember the days, but it seems that today is Wednesday, I got to Germany this past Saturday and...yeah. That's about all I can manage.
Munich was lovely, very interesting sort of city, nothing like I've been to before. Cold, yes, but the mulled wine...gluhwein, I think it's called, or spelled, not sure, kept me warm, although my alcohol tolerance was wee and I got a headache. I stuck to coffee soon after except last night, (we're in Berlin now), we went to this shmancy fancy place with another family that is staying in the same hotel we are and you couldn't sit down until you had chatted for about half hour over glasses of champagne and I realized too late that I had downed mine more or less really easily and everyone else except for one of the daughters who is two years older than me drank about half. But it was champagne, expensive champagne, and chilled to the point where it wasn't super apparent when you sipped it. Because when it's just sorta cold, you notice it and it becomes less enjoyable, but when it's really chilled, hmmm, that's good.
Back to Munich.
Fun. Only went to the toy museum though but we also only spent 1.5 days there, which was a little strange, and nothing was open the second full day we had. Ah well. It was a nice walk around the City of Monks.
Berlin, as I remember it, is very perfect. For me, at least.
Clean? Check.
Easy to get around? Check
Good food/cheap? Check
Variety of food? Check
Comfy sleeping place? Check
Relatively happy people? Check
Starbucks? Check
There is even a Dunkies and yes, Jenna, they do sell Iced Pumpkin Muffins.
I also got a new bag, which says Berlin Home of the Currywurst.
That is all.
And oh yeah, for people concerned about the Elder Sister Logan, she's fine. About to go to bed, in fact.
