Beer and Lederhosen

We are both really enjoying Munich - it is a great city. We have been to a couple of beer halls, had some great food and big beers! Our first full day was spent exploring the city. We saw the famous Glockenspiel, climbed the church tower for some great views of the city and took a walk in a lovely park called the English Gardens. In the late afternoon we checked out the Theresia´s lawn, where Oktoberfest is held, currently home to some funky markets.
Yesterday we took a trip out to Dachau. There is a memorial on the site of the former concentration camp. We spent time in the museum and saw horrible sites like the former crematorium and the gas chamber - very sobering. Today we have just finished a Third Reich walking tour of the city, which points out sites such as the beerhall that was the birthplace of the Nazi Party.
Hope everyone is well.
