Internet, Bitte?

I think it's safe to say that everyone on this trip has been enjoying the experience of visiting a foreign country and learning about another culture.  It's refreshing to see new sites and try different foods, and we have all been enjoying the German beer!  Of course, there are always some challenges that go along with being in another country...like trying to communicate with someone who barely knows English!  We have also learned that, unfortunately, the internet is much less harder to find here than in America.  Good luck trying to pick up on wireless here - as you can see in the picture on the left, our group is currently sitting outside of the Apple store to post our blogs!  We might look a little suspicious, but at least we're promoting their products by using a MacBook.

Despite having to get used to checking our email and facebooks much less often, Munich has been a lot of fun.  It has been kind of chilly and rainy for most of our stay here, but yesterday we got the chance to see some of the city on our bike tour.  In the picture below you can see Ellen and I with the beautiful city in the background!  You can also see how many bikes we had- imagine a group of almost 20 people riding through the little cobblestone

 streets.  It was nice to get out and see more of the city, and luckily this time there weren't any bike accidents :)
