Mµnchen

We're sitting in an internet cafe right now. It is across from the Geldermat (think German ATM) that the Europe '96 crew used quite often. We just spent a wonderful few hours walking around Oktoberfest. We met a delightful local family while sitting outside the Paulaner Beer tent. They shared their meal with us and helped us order ours.

This morning, after arriving from our day in Salzburg, we parked our big backpacks in a locker and headed out to visit the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial. It was a sobering experience (again for Zac). We toured the site with Audio Guides. The clerk dispensing them spoke 6 languages including a little Hebrew! The exhibits have been updated since the last time I was there. For example, the entrance is now where the prisoners entered instead of nearby the parking lot. The museum's displays have been updated and increased. We didn't stop and read everything in the museum because the audio guides were informative enough.

This evening we are off to Rome on a night train. Can't post any pictures at this cafe because the 'towers' are not accessible as they are in cabinets.
