More view.
Hotel room...complete with bathrobes and slippers. It's nice to be on buisness and stay on the executive floor at a hilton!
The river way canal through the neighborhood by the hotel.
Us! Proof we were there and not just our camera.
Fall colors! So beautiful!
Just around the riverbend....
The italian place where we had real italian pizza. Yum!
Tyson and the Maypole behind the hotel.
The next day I went on a walk to the Englischer Garten by myself while Tyson was doing conference stuff. It was so amazingly beautiful!
Narnia anyone?
Breathtakingly beautiful!
Really cool geese. These two were mixed in with the average European geese. I have no clue what kind they are but their markings were really cool!
Eurpoean Goose.
Cool old tree!
Two white swans and one brown/grey one! I had never seen a brown/grey swan before!
The pagoda in the gardens.
Our room service Apple Struddel...
And bratworst sausage (all rolled up!), skillet potatoes, and saurkraut!
Tyson has told me for years that saurkraut is different in Germany than it is here in the US. It is much less sour and firmented tasting, but still had a vinegarry zing to it. It was good!

Tyson with a statue. I think Tyson is the cuter one. ;)
Ancestral Gallery, complete with portaits, gilded decor and a family tree.
We had to get a shot of the sausage house!
This is Mariensplatz. The city center. This building in the back is a government building that is still used today. The pillar stands in teh center of the square. From the balconies of this building out to a crowded square is one of the famous locations of Hitler's speeches.
Part of the inner gate.
Tyson and I went for a walk in the Englischer Garten before we left that day because he hadn't been through it much.
We saw pure white geese!
A large standing plaque that dates the garden back to the 1500s!
beautiful fall colors.
With the big flock of geese again.
So many geese!
Someone left their bike by this tree and I thought it was a great shot.
So later that day we went to our new hotel and the intese sight seeing began! More pictures to come later!
