Holiday Pictures




















Just a few pictures from our wonderful trip. Most are images from Bavaria- land of beer, pretzels and leiderhosen. There are a few shots of a match, and supporters singing and cheering in the city center of Munich. Another is us drinking a "Russian" (Russen) - which is 2/3 lemonade and 1/3 weissbeer at Andech's Monastary - where making beer has been the monk's primary source of income for hundreds of years. And the one of the iron gate is at the 'work camp' Dachau, where the inscription on the gate reads "work will set you free".

All the German Eif has managed on our trips is: 'Ein Mars bar Bitte'!!!!! Hope you managed to learn a bit more! Looks like a good trip.

Bis zum nachstes Welt Meisterschaft!!

Yeah, unfortunately 'Danke Shon' after everything, and 'bitte' after 'ein bratwurst' or whatever we were ordering was about all we got in too. Geordan was quite good with the numbers and after 2 weeks the language really begins to sound more farmiliar. But we were disgraceful. It was really hard to make ourselves attempt to speak German, when EVERYONE spoke English - and they were all eager to practice! Germany is SUCH a great country though - I'm in love! And we are DEFINATELY going back!
