Munich was amazing. It was a very late night town. But we always ate so many pig knuckles and potatoes that we went to bed early. The first day we got to Munich, we walked around the old town and saw the Glockenspiel which is a huge clock with moving objects such as kings, queens, jokers, and knights. The knights from Germany beheaded the knights from Austria. It was SO cool. The next day, we got the opportunity to sleep in late and then eat at our amazing hotel buffet. After we stuffed ourselves with food, we decided what we wanted to do for that day. Chase, my dad, and I, all wanted to go to the new BMW museum. Jane and my mom wanted to go to the Toy Museum. So that's what we did. It was a very fun day for all of us. It was raining on Sunday morning so we listened to Pastor Matthews preach to us on one of the church's tapes. The next day, dad went to go pick up our car. When I was thinking that it was going to be a hip sports car - I was TOTALLY wrong. All they said was, "It has good gas mileage and good cargo space. That's all we need." Goodness. They must have no good taste in cars.
Now that it is September, I was thinking about all of my friends being in school. I'm glad I'm not in a classroom, but I am still learning alot. Here are a few things that I have learned:
- how to ride the Metro
- how to try foods even if I can't pronounce the name
- how to post photos on the blog
- how to speak Polish (a little)
- how to close all different shower doors
- how to ride segways
- how to use Skype
- how to have church without a church building
- how to drive on the left side (well, Dad did)
- how to watch free movies online
- how to play Ringo
- how to do the "Cotton-Eyed Joe" dance
- how to crochet
- how to pantomime language
- how to figure out all different toilet flushers
