Munich Walking Tour

After 18 months of living in Munich and hosting numerous friends and family, we've realized we know nothing noteworthy about Munich as we guide our visitors around our temporary stomping ground.

Munich visitor: "What's that?"
Sarah or Jeff: "Uh, a church?"
William: "Da!"

We realized we needed to do something about this! Enter one sunny fall day . . . Jeff, Will, and I decided to become tourists in our town. We downloaded a Munich City Walking tour, packed a picnic, placed our trademark white headphones in our ears and got strolling. It will come as no surprise that we learned quite a bit! We now have the walking tour for any and all who come to stay in our humble abode, so you too, can become worthy of the trivial knowledge of this fun, foreign city.

Will and I in front of one of the old entrance gates to the city (when the city was walled) at Karlsplatz. And I just thought it was a fancy entrance to my favorite shopping street!

I still get goosebumps everytime I come up out of the U-bahn to see the Altes Rathaus looming above me. I can't believe I live here!
