The 6:30 wake up was tough this morning, but knowing it meant we would be out of Brussels soon made it easier. Of course, we hadn’t even made it out of the hotel before the hotel clerk, Mr. Butt (lol), tried to dupe us into paying for our room twice (nice try, noob, but you will never get my money!) Anyways, once we got rid of that gypsy, we were on the way to Munich to see old family friends.
We hadn’t taken 10 steps off the train in Munich before Bridgette came running towards us, overjoyed that we had made it. Bridgette and Chris Buyer are friends of my parents. My grandpa, dad, and aunts have all stayed with their family in Germany like Shelman and I were doing, and they have all stayed with our family in America.
After getting a sandwich (mozzarella, tomato, and lettuce on a fresh baguette) we toured a few of the many castles in Munich. We walked through the English Gardens to a beer garden and Chris got a round of a mixed beer/lemonade drink, a summertime special in Germany, which was perfect for the hot day. Chris also got us a pretzel that was so big, even a man with a hippopotamus jaw would have trouble eating it (see: http://bit.ly/9W2j8p).
When we got to the Buyer’s beautiful home, hot showers and dinner were waiting. Because Bridgette was at the opera for the night, Andy and Domi had cooked fish, chicken, and potatoes, with tzaziki sauce. We ate outside in the backyard—everything was delicious. We ate, talked, laughed, and drank until it was too dark to see, then went up to bed.
