Bananen for Munich

I woke up early this morning, at about 630 and took a shower to start my day off right. We didn't have to meet for class until 10 am, so I took my time, and the four of us girls, as Jeff is living elsewhere, ate breakfast at the hostel. It wasn't bad, but the coffee seemed watery to me, and the canned milk left me wanting.
We met for class, and everyone of us was early. It was a church thing today, so we started class, by climbing up the tower of Munich's St. Peter's. It was pretty tall, not overly so, but enough to take my breathe away due to the view, and the city's altitude... The church inside was nice, especially since it was almost obliterated in WWII bombings.
After we enjoyed the view, we walked back to the Marienplatz and the Glockenspiel. We waited until 11 am when the clock turns, and the figurines in the church move. It was kind of neat i suppose, but it took 10 minutes, and watching things spin for 10 mminutes, is, well, pretty boring. We walked from the Marienplatz to the church of out lady, or the Frauenkirche. It was a beautiful airy church inside with large interior collonades and bright beautiful stained glass.
We also stopped by another baroque church that I do not feel the need to name. The interior was dark, ornate and utterly discusting. I felt claustrophobic and heavy inside, even though the church was huge.
We then walked down the the Viktualienmarkt and ate lunch and a small outdoor restarurent. We ate with Astrid and she bought pitchers of beer for the class as beer runs through Munich like water and runs cheaper. I had some, but found solace in my water bottle when I ate my local favorite White sausage.
We endrd the day going to the largest public city park in the world, the Englischer Garten. I have to admit, it was huge, and the large fields made me want to pick up a game of soccer. We spent some time sketching there, then headed back to our hostel to eat a light dinner, and change our rooms for the night.
