The first time I went it was overwhelming, the second time I went I was more prepared. <BR/><BR/>I love Munich, when I was working in London we spent three "weekends" in Munich. I worked 9 nights on, 5 off, so my weekends were 5 nights long! After my first trip we went back at Christmas for the markets, and in September for Octoberfest.Me and Himhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06774479286557369955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20199050.post-73458172658074355682008-02-01T18:17:00.000+01:002008-02-01T18:17:00.000+01:00I love Munich!

I was completely overwhelmed. You are so right that everyone should visit at least one in their lifetime. Great pictures.christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08609412152225467711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20199050.post-69664552182095333912008-02-01T05:42:00.000+01:002008-02-01T05:42:00.000+01:00Great pictures.

It sounds strange to say I'd like to go to a concentration camp on one of my vacations, but it's true.<BR/><BR/>I'm curious about the "church the devil built." Sounds like an interesting story.<BR/><BR/>I think the whole carb thing is very German/Swiss/Austrian. (And when these peoples came to America and settled in the midwest, they brought their practices with them. Too bad they couldn't remmeber how to make good beer, ja!)Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17924671578271742460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20199050.post-52428544963944133582008-02-01T04:21:00.000+01:002008-02-01T04:21:00.000+01:00Wow, What a place...I've been to a couple Holocaus...Wow, What a place...I've been to a couple Holocaust memorials before, but this one is very intense and thoughtful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20199050.post-51027510756444339012008-01-31T15:48:00.000+01:002008-01-31T15:48:00.000+01:00Amazing pictures.

When the unit visited again in 1975 or so, they had a memorial service there to commenurate their own lost soldiers and the victims at Dachau.

It's so frustrating, because I've tooled around with some photos and tried to figure out how to get them into my banner (with some assistance from a blog-advice type thingie) but I just didn't manage to make it work. But I'm dying to make my own blog look a bit more "personal" and original. (and more suited to its name!)The Late Bloomerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08337578942279132688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20199050.post-40656509735565047122008-01-31T15:05:00.000+01:002008-01-31T15:05:00.000+01:00Emily, sounds like you had a fabulous time in Muni...Emily, sounds like you had a fabulous time in Munich! I've never been there, but now you make me want to go -- love your pictures as well... I've only been once, very briefly, to Berlin, and then a few years back my boyfriend and I went to Konstanz, where his mom grew up, on the border of Austria and Switzerland. And it seems that they ate a LOT of carbs there too! I'm gathering that perhaps Germany is the COUNTRY of carbs, whatcha think?! ;-)<BR/><BR/>Dachau must have been an incredibly intense experience... Painful, but important. I'm going to try to go back through your pictures more slowly, because I want to be able to take the time to read all of your captions. <BR/><BR/>By the way, do you know the blog figtreefranglais? It's written by Tatiana de Rosnay, who wrote a book called Sarah's Key. I'm planning on attending her next book reading at the Village Voice in Paris, on February 7th (next week!) and I'm really looking forward to reading her book. I think you might be interested in checking our her book as well!The Late Bloomerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08337578942279132688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20199050.post-44812247407638287782008-01-31T14:20:00.000+01:002008-01-31T14:20:00.000+01:00Wow, Emily, they are very powerful photos.
