Lots of pictures from Munich.
Sean preferred the Renaissance, he said, but he was more wowed by St. Peters.
We walked continuously from 8:30 in the morning to 7:00 in the evening. We saw St. Michaels, St. Peters, Frauenkirche, and the Alte Pinakotekh museum.
The Alte Pinakotekh had a very good audioguide in English. We took lots of pictures. I saw an actual painting by Leonardo Da Vinci! I was so excited.
Since I hadn’t done any shopping for the people back home, we walked, walked, and walked. We had originally taken the train to Marienplatz. The map made it look further than it was so we did not get back on the train. We went from Marianplatz to the museum, then back to the Platz to shop.
Anywhere I go, I try to put at least something in the hats of street performers.
I mentioned in an earlier post that I loved public transportation in Europe. I also love that the cities are set up for walking and bicycling. There were thousands of bikes everywhere we went. You could rent them. 
After seeing the river, we made our way back to the train station and ate at the Pizza Hut. That Pizza Hut was much better than any U.S. Pizza Hut I have ever visited.
There is a legend that the plague of the sixteenth century was brought to the people by a dragon. When someone killed the dragon, the plague ended.
