Do we HAVE to leave?!

Well last night we went and did a little shopping :). There is this store that I like, Zara. I got a few things that I needed, work pants, skirt, and a cool jacket....and of course some SHOES. Let's get some shoes :) (hehe for all of you that get that joke), but I really did get a pair of shoes. We went to eat at the HofbrÀuhaus last night. It was nuts! I had a beer (Radler, Gina) that was bigger than my head, and I have a pretty big head! and of course bratwurst with kraut. Sam had the same but a dark beer. We had some traditional Austrian dessert that was pretty good. Nothing beats the struedel we had in Salzburg though.

Then we walked around a little. Even though we already had dessert Sam got some gelato. On a gross note he dropped his cone on the subway platform waiting for the train and picked it up and ate it. Really stretching the 5 second rule, but for all of you that know him well it wasn't the least surprising.

Today we went out to see King Ludwig's castle. Straight out of a fairy tale. Even seeing pictures doesn't give it justice until you're there. We stood on a really old bridge first and the boards beneath your feet move....creepy.

We took the tour inside and got to see what was finished before he mysteriously died. Then it started to rain, which isn't fun. We just got back, and we're headed to get some grub somewhere. Tomorrow morning we're headed to Frankfurt to fly out (we used miles so we didn't have a choice of flying out of Munich). Gina, see you at the airport at 9pm. You're such a good friend :)

We've taken about 450 pictures. I know, we're a little ridiculous. Oh well! We've had SO much fun. Can't wait until the next time. So many cultures, languages, great people met along the way, great food, not-so-great food, great beer, and fun!

P.S. Happy birthday to Cooper who's 5th birthday was the day before we left. :)
