Those damn German's can sure make an amazing automobile. Maybe I will by my M3 now. We toured the BMW museum and walked around olympic park where the olympic games took place back in 1972.
We will post pictures when we get to Berlin. We have some shots of where they assemble all of the cars and load them on the trains for transport. I think my buddy Jeff has purchased every single car they've ever made.
From there we went to the Deutches museum. This was an interesting museum. They had more things to look at than you could shake a stick at. We got to see a lot of interesting aeronautical things as well as electrical and IC engines.
After the visit to the museum, we had about 5 hours of time to kill before our overnight train to Praha. We walked around and went back to the hotel to send some emails. We then went and got dinner at an italian place and I had another beer and Nick had another Coke. Typical Nick.
We learned a very valuable lesson riding the underground subway system in Munich. HAVE A DAMN TICKET ON YOU AND DON'T RIGHT NEXT TO THE GUARDS! Our hotel told us it was free to ride the U-Bahn to Oktoberfest so we figured to ride it for one stop it shouldn't be a problem being that we have walked about 10 miles every damn day. Nope. We sat right next to three of the guards. As soon as we sat down I guess we had tourist written all over our face. They showed their badges and asked us for our tickets. We played dumb and it didn't work. We both got hit with a 40 Euro fine. That's $60 each. Could have done without that. This was right before we shipped a package full of stuff back to the United States. Oh well. Like and learn.

Definately "like and learn" Nick. Are you sure you had "tourist" written all over your faces? you guys? You? Really? Nehhh...I don't believe it for a second. I'm suprised playing dumb didn't work...well not really since that would be the same as "acting normal" for you two knuckle-heads.
PS: I hope it wasn't raining your cats, they'd crush you two and destroy all of Munich as they fell, slothfully, from the sky.
Hey Nick,
It's your step sis, Jenny. I remember my euro backpack trip like it was yesterday, and it was 15 years ago!! I'm curious, did you send a package of things back to the states b/c you had too much stuff? I did that exact thing when I backpacked in '92!!! Definitely take a lot of pics and share, share, share......I'm soooo happy you are getting to experience the euro way!! It changed my life forever....I didn't want to go home and I became a total socialist after :)
Have fun and DON'T be too good...
hello, enjoy and good luck from Jen, Mike, Alex, Ian and Cassie in Indiana
xoxo
Hey Jenny,
Thanks for checking out our blog. It's good to hear from you. I'd like to email you, but I don't have your email address. Send me a message at greatbird@gmail.com and I will email you back with more stories from Europe. And yes, we are sending a lot of packages back from here. Too much good stuff, and not enough room in the backpacks. :) Hope to here from you soon.
Nick
