Nein Danke

Ok, so we had the day off as it is supposed to be a travel day. While we did not go back to the Olympic Park for a swim, we went on a free bicycle tour through the city of Munich. It started at 1130 and ended at about 3 in the afternoon. We went to many places in the city we had already been, and also learned new things about the area, and the history of Hitler in the city. We also saw more naked people in the English Garden than we had previously, apparently the particular meadow where the naked people accummulate is known as the sausage fest, because no women really go there, or atleast the attractive ones. We found them on the river sitting on the banks.
We spent some time walking around the city and then met up to head over to SpringFest. Springfest is basically like octoberfest, but smaller because fewer tourists know of it. We walked through the carnival and then went to the beer hall for dinner. I only ate a large pretzel and we sat there watching the peopel drinking and cheering. There was live music in a polka style. For a few of the songs they did johnny cash and mexican songs, but in german. When we were about to leave, they started a contest of climbing up the large post in the center of the tent. A few people did it, then jeff decided he wanted to try. We waited a while and our barmaid tried very hard to get me to try it. I am not sure why she did, but she kept trying to have me go, smiling and telling me about the free liter of beer i would get..in her broken English. Jeff made it to the top, but did not take up on his beer. The lady tried to have me do it and pointed at my dress saying it was ok, i had on leggings. It was kind of cute that she thought that i really should do it, but in a hall of several hundred people, i am not going to make a fool of myself trying to climb up an old slippery pole while wearing a dress. All i could say was, Nein, Nein Danke.

We are heading out of Munich tonight on the overnight train, so lets hope I get some sleep. :)
