We spent one night and two days in Munich. The first night we met Lars, Bettima (wife) and Sonja (daughter) and Julia (Sonja's friend) out for dinner at the famous Augustiner Beer Garden. Lars is a colleague of Jason's working in Freescale Munich. Lars and his family were so kind to speak with us in English and explain life in Germany, the city hotspots and best of all the menu. The food and the beer garden were really a treat. Ella loved playing with the 7-year-old girls on the playscape, coloring and learning new games.

| Yes, she finished it all! |

Our last day in Germany was spent hitting every Munich highlight possible including the Englitsch Garden, Marienplatz and the Children's Museum.

One highlight was seeing the river surfing on the Isar. Here's a quick video of our favorite surfer.
Thanks so much to Lars for the world wind tour of Munich. It definitely made all of us want to come back.
We loved Germany and everything that we saw, but most of all we loved spending time with Jason, Heidi, Elliot and Christie who traveled with us from Denmark and all through Germany making our trip a once in a lifetime experience. They promised to come see us in Texas and I sure hope we get to return the hospitality soon.
At 9p on Sunday night, we managed to hop on the City Night Line train to Rome which is where I'm writing this blog. Happy 4th of July to us from Italy. Stay tuned ..
