First full day in Munich

So, for my first day in Munich, still feeling a bit jet lagged and under the weather, we decide to take public transportation into the city centre and see what it has to offer.  It would have been great to have my camera but I had no idea where it was at the time.   Carsten was not kidding when he said he did not unpack anything and I did not feel like doing it...hard to believe I know!! Anyway, we had a nice time in the city centre.  Downtown Munich is quite beautiful, with all the old buildings, cathedrals and such character.  We spent a few hours wandering around.  At one point we went into a market area, where we ate sausage and sauerkraut. Shocking I know that they would have such food in Germany.  Well, this was my first time eating sauerkraut and to my surprise I really liked it.  It didn't taste anything like I thought it would, but then again I had some pretty horrible visions conjured up in my head as to what it would taste like!  We strolled upon a movie set where a crew was filming a period piece, unless everyone just had really bad taste in clothes.  But I digress.  As we continued on our walk we came upon the English Garden, which is probably one of the largest "gardens" I have seen.  Not necessarily what I would call a garden, rather a big green area where people congregate. Apparently horses ride through the garden, people plays sports and some even sunbathe in the nude.   And let's just say that some people really should keep their clothes on!!!  In the middle of the garden is a beer garden so of course we had to stop for a beverage in order to not become dehydrated.  And that was my first experience in a German beer garden.  Now, since it is October and Oktoberfest had just ended a few days prior, it was not nearly as busy as it is when the weather is better, but it still had plenty of people enjoying a beverage or two.
