There was a soccer match going on there, so a lot of people were headed into town. We stayed at an Australian hostel called Wombat. It had an atrium in the center. <br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3110/2545/1600/DSC00905.jpg"><img style="float:center; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3110/2545/320/DSC00905.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Then we went to the Pinakothek die Moderne. Its a museum that only opened a few years ago, but it already aquired many masterpieces. I had seen many of the pieces in art history class. They had several Picassos, two Dalis, masterpieces by modern German artists like Kirchner and Heckel. They were also holding a large exhibition of design from modern times back to the 50s and so on.<br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3110/2545/1600/DSC00856.1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3110/2545/320/DSC00856.1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3110/2545/1600/DSC00854.1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3110/2545/320/DSC00854.1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Design exhibition with BMW bikes and, well, I don't know exactly what that is. But it sure is interesting.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3110/2545/1600/DSC01001.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3110/2545/320/DSC01001.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3110/2545/1600/DSC00966.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3110/2545/320/DSC00966.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />On Sunday morning, we took a trip out to Schloss Nymphenburg, which was a summer home for Bavarian rulers. It was a massive palace; an addition to it made it big enough to wrap almost 360 degrees around a huge courtyard.<br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3110/2545/1600/DSC00914.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3110/2545/320/DSC00914.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />The Rathaus or town hall, a magnificent gothic building.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3110/2545/1600/DSC00923.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3110/2545/320/DSC00923.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Hofbrau beerAndrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02475874175881899261noreply@blogger.com
