We arrived in Munich by train two days ago. The ride was lovely and took us through the flowering hills and valleys of Austria.
Yesterday we did some more modern art bingeing at Pinakothek Der Moderne and the Brandhorst Moderne. We got up close and personel with works by Picasso, Beckmann, de Kooning, Warhol, Ernst, Matisse, and many, many more. Both of the museums are stunning examples of modern architecture which we thoroughly enjoyed wandering around in.
Today we are going to rent some bikes and ride around a big park called Englischer Garden that runs along side the Isar River. While Bozen was a bike heaven, Munich is a serious bike metropolis. Everywhere you look, there are rows and rows of bikes. As far as traffic laws go, it seems to be a free for all when it comes to bikes; they seem to have full rights on both the sidewalk as well as the road, and pedestrians best get out of the way. If you hear a ding, don't turn to look at them, just immediately move to the right.
Later this evening we are planning on hitting up a giant beer hall!
