Munich

Today was museum day. I went to the Altes Pinakotech and the archeological museum. From Erding I took the S-bahn in and then walked around the old town area stopping at the two museums. I never realized that paintings by Ruben, Durer, etc were so commonplace. The Vancouver museum has a long way to go. Also, I walked through the Englischer Garten which reminded me of Golden Gate Park, except there was one section devoted to nude sunbathers and another that was a huge beer garden. On the way back to Marienplatz I came across a street festival. It was called Streetwise for some reason. I was sort of a multicultural, environmental celebration with lots of beer and shows. That´s something else you see hear is people drinking beer on the street, on the trains, as well as the beer gardens. I have one more day here before leaving for Salzburg. If I had another week I still would not see everything.
