Bavaria!

So Munich has been pretty much all I expected it to be...German clothes, beer, food, steins, oktoberfest, and more! I am staying here over the weekend and I cannot wait to go to the English Garden and ride my bike around Munich! It will be a chance to relax and possibly have some alone time. That has been a real shock being here - not having alone time. It's totally different from home becaus whether you're in your car, or walking to class, you are usually alone and can get lost in your own thoughts. Not here. I understand that it isn't really possible to have a lot of down time here because of the short amount of time we have and the large amount of things we want to do. We are past halfway through now, and everyone is getting pretty tired.

Even though we are tired, we have seen some incredible things. Today we went to Dachau concentration camp. I don't even know what to take from it because it's so shocking to actually see a place like that after hearing about them your whole life. I know that the US has a lot of history, but German history goes straight to your bones. I am so glad I am here learning all of this, and I can't wait for more to come. But for now, I am going to enjoy the fruits that Munich has to offer. I think I could get used to this place!
