Oh Bavaria...

I see Jess made reference to my recent exposure to Bavaria. Allow me to briefly elaborate:

While in Munich, I immersed myself devotedly to Bavarian culture.

Hour 1 - Arrive into Munich
Hour 2 - Chris consumes 1 liter of lager, 3 sausages, sauerkraut, boiled potatoes, potato salad
Hour 8 - We sleep
Hour 19 - We see the Glockenspiel
Hour 20 - We visit English Gardens
Hour 21 - Chris consumes 2 liters of dark ale, 3 sausages, 1 dumpling, potato salad
Hour 23 - We nap in English Gardens
Hours 30-32 - Chris consumes 3 liters of dark ale, 3 sausages, sauerkraut, mashed potatoes
Hour 33 - Chris takes a couple sips of whiskey - chooses to stop
Hour 34 - Chris' stomach gets angry with him...
Hour 35 - We sleep
Hour 43 - We depart for Zagreb

And there you have it: our brief yet thorough 43 hour visit to glorious Munchen! I'd say we did it perfectly.

* - meal 1 at Paulaner Brewery
** - meal 2 in beer garden in English Gardens
*** - meal 3 at the Hofbrauhaus

Great that you so quickly conquered the basic culture of Bavaria! So much beer, so little time. I think that if I'd had that many sausages, I'd need another stent. The new pix of Rome are BREATHTAKING! My goodness, you've been in the very cog of big time world history. The names, Julius Caesr, Hadrian, Trajan, Constantine, etc., makes this old history major pant out loud.

Jess, I assume you found Chris by following the trail of empties. I understand that's common practice in Bavaria.

MUCH love to you both.
