THE Bavarian beer house! So much fun! It’s huge. It’s loud. It’s full of beer and music- can it get any better? Not sure, but we had a blast. We each had liter mugs of beer. Cold. Refreshing. Perfect. BEER!

I was feeling a bit heavy after all the beer, pretzels, meat, and sorbet so I opted for the fresh vegetable platter… LOL! Beware! the fresh veg platter comes with half a chicken and butter sautéed mushrooms 😀 Unexpected, but quite yummy!

Adam had the four wiener dinner. Again, LOL 🙂 The German potato salad was perfectly creamy and tart. The wieners were fine- good quality hot dogs. Not my kind of thing, but Adam seemed to really enjoy his meal.

We took a relaxing stroll through the English garden (it had finally started to cool off). What a beautiful park! It’s one of the largest city parks in the world and perhaps the only German English garden with a Chinese Pavillion serving as a Biergarten 😉

I don’t think I’ve mentioned how quiet Germany is. It’s wonderful! We noticed it immediately when we got into the airport in Munich. German people are simply quiet. Busy streets, airports, restaurants, quiet. It’s really nice, but strange to our American senses.

The English garden was very serene and quiet until… Is that singing? Glass shattering? Rambunctious laughter? We had been walking in the garden for quite some time when we heard uncharacteristically loud voices. We headed towards the light… It was a crowded Biergarten in the middle of a huge, pedestrian only park! Awesome!

Too fun to miss! We each had a beer and shared a pretzel with mustard. We officially love Munich ❤

It was hot today and we walked a lot (Adam estimates at least 11 miles). We needed some sweet, refreshing relief!

We stopped by a street-side sorbet stand 🙂 I had mango and Adam had lemon- just what we needed to carry on a busy day of sightseeing!

We found a great Bavarian cafe near the Marienplatz so we stopped for lunch. Great call Adam! We each had a beer, of course.

Adam had the roasted pork knuckle with potato dumplings and sweet and sour bacon-cabbage salad. Wow! The pork was simultaneously tender and as Adam described it, “Strong. Not tough. Strong.” 🙂 It had an awesomely crispy, cracklin exterior and a rich gravy over the tender, mild dumplings. The salad was equally delicious.

I had the veal meatballs with creamy bacon cabbage. So tasty! The meatballs were light and herbal. The cabbage was creamy and porky, but not heavy or greasy. Overall, really delicious Bavarian lunch!

Whoa baby!!!

Coffee, apple slices, toasted bio baguette with butter, salt, and Himbeer jam. Yum!
