München

The second half of our trip mom and I went to Munich. My 2nd time in Germany, but my 1st time in Bavaria. The first day we arrived we basically walked around and shopped the whole day. The picture in the middle is of the famous shopping street. Fashion Club was my fav store. We dont have it in Austria or America. The 2nd day we took a free walking tour and got to see the city. We learned about the 2 things there are to learn about in Munich..beer and the Holocaust. We had such a good guide our 3rd day we decided to go back with her to Dachau, the Holocaust Memorial Site or former concentration camp that housed over 200,000 prisoners. The pic on the far left is of a church in the city. It was one of the only buildings not destroyed in WW2. They didnt bomb it because the towers served as important landmarks for the other bombing. The pic on the top right is the building where Hitler was on the night of KristallNacht, which is the night all of the jews in Munich were first captured and sent to concentration camps. The bottom pic is of the Glockenspeil. This is something hundreds of tourists crowd around and cheer for, but is not that exciting. Overall, I really liked Munich. A city full of culture and history.
