I am back at the hostel after day 1 of Munich. I gotta say, I feel like I'm at summer camp sitting up in my top bunk bonding with strangers. People from all over the world, just traveling until they run out of money. It's a much different experience than last night when I stayed with my friend Annie's parents who live in the city. It was so nice staying in a house with a family and homecooked meals!
Today I took the train in from the suburbs and met up with my friend at our swanky hostel. We then set out to explore the city. One thing was clear, people have a LOT of money here. Everyone dresses so fancy and streets are lined with designer boutiques. That being said, it's completely gorgeous here. We spent the majority of our time wandering the English Gardens. There was so much color everywhere! Coming from Florida where trees don't change, I was in awe. I will post pictures when I get back to Manchester and I am not posting from my phone. I love that people take their dogs everywhere, no leash or anything. Just obedience.
For dinner we went to the famous Hofbrauhaus beer garden. We sat with the nicest couple from Australia and ate giant pretzels. It was excellent. Tomorrow we go to Salzburg for the sound of music tour. I CAN'T WAIT!
