Memmingen? Memminememen? ... and then Munich :)

 So this was the gorgeous view out of our plane at sunrise as we flew from Pisa to Mememningimin. Something like that. Anyways if you've never tried it, flying at sunrise is something I would strongly suggest... I ended up taking about fifty pictures just of the mountains and sun :)

 So this was the very first leg of our epic Fall Break trip, we were flying into Munich (but not really, because RyanAir only flies to really random airports like memminmmenimmgn, which was two hours west of munich). We only stayed one day in Munich (it was the closest we could get to Salzburg) but it was absolutely beautiful!
 Snow-Capped Mountains at Sunrise? Yes please.
 Some really cool building in Munich

 Pink Pineapples?!? This acutally blew my mind.

 One of those freaky people-statues
 The International symbol for "Walk Like An Egyptian"
 Berries! We stopped here and each got a bag of blueberries :) Thank goodness everyone in Munich speaks English because not only do I not understand German, but I can't pronounce any of it for the life of me!
Shout out to my Uruguayan Father :)


So little known fact about Germany, their sausages are actually hot dogs. So we went to some very touristy place for lunch (where our waiter didn't speak English...) and we were all like "sausages! we should get those because Germany has good sausages!" So of course there are about ten different varieties and we have no idea what the difference is so we all just pick one and order it (and sip on our really gross fizzy water because the waiter didn't understand us when we said 'no gas'). But allison and I end up with mediocre hot dogs, and our friend Susan got this large covered bowl. She opened it up to find a white sausage (white??!?) floating in the water.  That's why we needed the berries later... lunch was not very appetizing...

But we still enjoyed Munich a lot! Jaywalking is super illegal there it turns out (oops!) - some of the locals made siren noises at us as we crossed the street to our hotel! But overall it was a really fun day :) And the next morning, we woke up super early to head to Salzburg...
