Greetings from Munich

Hello,

So today I arrived in Munich. My trip started at JFK, where I departed at 8:30 PM yesterday. I took a 5 1/2 hour flight to Iceland where I got to relax in the terminal for a little over an hour. After that I boarded the next plane to Munich, a 4 hour flight. The flight was nice. Every seat had it's own TV so I watched friends and listened to some country music and I fell asleep watching 27 dresses. I woke up about an hour before landing in Iceland. The next flight I watched 27 dresses (since I slept through the previous viewing) and then fell asleep just in time for landing (which must have been pretty smooth as it did not wake me up.

I got off the plane in Munich and took a train to the Hauptbahnhof (central train station) where I hopped on a tram that took me to my hostel. I am staying at "The Tent." It is a giant tent with 100 beds (50 bunks) in it. It seems nice so far. Lots of Scottish/Irish people.

I settled in to my bunk and then I decided to take a ride back to the Hauptbahnhof (I will be using that word a lot so you should get used to it). I found a little bakery that has mozzarella and tomato sandwiches so I bought one of them for 2 euros and then wandered around for a bit. I bought an Avocado and some water at Karstadt (department store). I didn't eat it yet though. It may be my lunch tomorrow. On my way back to the hostel I got off the tram at Nymphenburg castle. I was there in 2007 so I don't plan on going back but I did want to take a few pictures. I thought about walking back to the hostel (like a mile maybe) but decided I was too tired.

I think I'll be going to bed around 8 tonight as I am utterly exhausted and then I can sleep for 12 hours.

Tomorrow I am going over to Marienplatz in the morning to look around the Glockenspiel and other cool buildings and then I am going on a tour to Dachau (concentration camp). After that, who knows.

Munich is boring. I've already seen most of the cool stuff so there isn't much that is exciting me. Several times today I have forgotten that I am in Germany and then I walk past some German speaking people and it throws me off.

I will update again tomorrow.
