Not included in this gallery is a panorama of Munich I took, which can be found here (25 MB warning): https://jsaxton.com/static_images/munich.jpg

Arriving in the Munich train station! Our AirBNB was in this neighborhood. It may not be obvious, but the path on the right is for bicyclists, and the path on the left is for pedestrians. Another comfortable airbnb, no checkin issues! Our kitchen German beer! Mindy got the duck I got the schnitzel with gnocchi, delicious! Tuesday is schnitzel day! Marienplatz Marienplatz We wandered over the the Viktualienmarkt. Apparently the decorations on these posts were historically used in Bavarian markets to make easy for people to figure out what goods/services were available there. The market had a massive beer garden. I think this photo was taken around noon on a weekday. There were fairly permanent shops in the market We went to a sausage stand for lunch, quite good An elaborate bike parking garage near Marienplatz Apparently this is sufficient security to deter most bike thieves in Munich. We took the subway to the Olympic Park You can go to the top of this tower and get great views of Munich A view of the city from the top More of the Olympic Park I think this is the Olympic Village Interesting architecture on the ground The swimming hall It was nice to see the Olympic facilities were still in use. In addition to these swimmers, we saw a bunch of kids playing soccer inside of an old Olympic building. In my opinion, beer halls are totally overrated. Super crowded and super loud. The food was pretty good. Beef and spaetzel. Mindy got a bunch of different kinds of meat. The buses had these displays to let you know which stop you were at and which stops were coming up. Super helpful! More schnitzel! The Isar river runs through Munich A common theme in Europe was that it seemed like a lot more people hung out in public places as opposed to private places
