The main entrance to our hotel.
We dropped off our bags and headed off for a walking tour of Munich. We met up with our guide, Michael, and off we went.
Our first stop was at the girl and wolf statue, where we received a crash course in the history of Munich. The geographic location where Munich sits dates back for centuries, but it wasn't officially named a city until 1175. As the story goes, Henry the Lion - Duke of Saxony and Bavaria built a bridge near the Isar River, then destroyed the pre-existing bridge owned by the Bishop. Henry then charged a fee for the usage of his bridge.

We then walked around the main city center where we were able to get some of these shots.
The back of the Bavarian state Theater
The Jewish Museum
Passing through the Viktualienmarkt, horse meat anyone? Ick!
After dinner, we were heading back to the hotel and saw a bunch of these little cards strewn across the ground and the sidewalk. A series of words caught my eye and what I saw made me giggle.
Nothing in life this happens by chance.
We retired early that night because the next day, we were headed to our final castle of the trip.
