Around Munich

On Saturday, I went for a bike ride around Munich, led by my knowledgeable host. We visited the famous Chinese Tower in the Englischer Garten, and of course, saw the surfers on the stationary wave in the tributary of the Isar river.


Of course, we had to stop at the Biergarten near the tower. The weather is so beautiful - unusually warm for October, that it's almost sacrilegious to not stop. I had a Schweinschnitzel and pommes, with, of course, ein Maß.


Then we moved on and found a piece of the Berlin wall by the US Consulate building...


... and a piece of the Universität München (now called LMU, or the Ludwig Maximilian University) whose wall still showed signs of the fighting in WWII. Or so my host claimed.


All in all, a pleasant day.
