Munich and a bit of Augsburg

We were going to tourist around in Munich, but the soccer-related festivities were starting to take over the city. After taking this dragon picture: 

We went to Augsburg for a few hours before the airport. Here's a selfie near the city hall: 

And an old guild house with frescoes from the 1600s (restored in the 1980's):

And a bunch of other old churchy buildings!

Saturday: Munich day 3

Here's the neues Rathaus at night. They were setting up the square for a victory celebration; apparently the local soccer team won! 

Friday: Munich day 2

We did see two museums and more architecture today, but our pictures were instead more related to food. For example, a fill your own bottle of wine station at eatily:

The seal on the wall in Hofbräuhaus (we just ducked in, looked too frantic to hang out in): 

And the Chinese tower in the English garden, which is in the middle of a beer garden.

Thursday: Munich day 1

An unfortunate series of events prevented me from posting these yesterday, but we took plenty of photos as we walked around and museumed. 

This is the museum Brandhorst. It's two blocks from where we are staying, but it looks a little more modern than we like. The exterior is super cool though!

This awkward sculpture of a guy on a pole is outside the Egyptian museum.

This is inside the Egyptian museum. The collection is good, but the building and exhibits were even better. This room had odds and ends displayed, but also had a timeline and informational plaques discussing history to put everything in context. 

The neues Rathaus! Super elaborate and pretty. 

Apparently, this victory gate (known as Siegestor) was originally to the glory of the Bavarian army, but then destroyed in WWII and rebuilt and red educated to peace. We were drawn to look at it after dinner because of the great lighting at night.
