Munich

After Zurich, we made a quick stop in Munich before heading onto Austria.  Even though our visit was short, we had a blast visiting the city and Christmas markets.  We'll definitely be back to visit more of Germany (after we learn a little (ein bisschen) Deutsch). :)

Entrance to a little Christkindlmarkt we found

inside the market

Bratwurst and gluwein, of course.  We're figuring out that Christmas markets are more about standing around eating and drinking than shopping. :)

This market had animatronic displays with Christmas themes (Santa, angels) and fairy tales (little red riding hood)  choreographed to Christmas music. This one definitely took the cake though.

Cutest Christmas-y trash can!

Beer at the Hofbrauhaus- the famous beer hall that was founded in something like 1590.  Tony likes this pics b/c the beer looks huge but it was only a half liter. :)

Lunch at the HBH- cheese, onions and delicious pretzel bread!

Tony ordered the special and we ended up with half a duck and knodel. 

But we managed...

Upstairs at the HBH- looked like they were getting ready for an event.
