We absolutely adore Munich! We arrived to Munich with not much expectation, but the Biergartens and Wurst und Kraut won us over. We visited the Viektualienmarkt Beer Garden and Chinesischer Turm Beer Garden and really enjoyed the social atmosphere there. As we sat outdoor among 4000 beer drinkers and diners, sharing table, saying hello to strangers around, listening to the loud hum of converstations and laughters, we realized how desperately lacking America is for common social spaces.

Another highlight of Munich was the Deutsches Museum. We were especially fascinated with the marine navigation and aeronautics exhibits.
