Munich, Germany

I'm in the Alps!!!!!


Finger printing the "red team."


The check point crew.

Typical Bavarian mural on a side of a business.

Beautiful mountains...

On our way to the Bavarian Alps!

We, two professors named, Alex and Eugene, arrived at ~1pm on Sunday March 3rd. We checked into the hotel but we had to rush over to a 4:30 meeting at the University of Bundisberg. I was so tired, as I hadn’t slept on the airplane the night before. I tried to pay attention but I kept feeling my head bob up and down – I was afraid I was going to fully fall asleep and my head would hit the table! Finally around 8pm, our UofB partners took us out to dinner at a traditional Bavarian restaurant. I tired the Weiner Schnitzel, it was actually really good! The next day we caravanned out about 70 kms to the Bavarian Alps. We stopped at adorable Bavarian town. I LOVED it!! We conducted our check point operation, I took some fingerprints and then we headed back into Munich. Alex and Eugene left and I stayed in the city with two other folks from Livermore. We walked round the city that night and I went to the Dallmayer and to a brewery, I had a beer because I was in Germany, but can’t say that I liked it! :) I can say that the German white wine is delicious!
