Post #10: 3rd Weekend Adventures

Yesterday was a rather lazy day. It rained a fair amount of the day. Around 6, Ramsey knocked on my door to tell me that there was going to be a group going out at night, and asked if I cared to join. So, I met Simon, Dominic, and another student from Italy. We headed out because one of Dominic's friends had news of a group that would be getting together "near the Isar. Look for people juggling fire." Odd instructions. So we walked along the Isar until I noticed under one of the bridges, there were a bunch of people juggling fire. We went down there and found the group "Buschfeuer". Apparently, a group of people who get together once a month for an evening of fire twirling, juggling, etc. to the beat of bongos. It was an interesting evening.

Today started with Mass at the Frauenkirche. The Organ sounded amazing. It is a very full sounding organ. After this, I went to the Isar and wandered up and down a lot. Saw the outside of the Deutsche Museum, and saw that they had a BMW Polo for €23. I visited the Friedensdenkmal, and Lukaskirche; both were pretty cool. I proceeded to the Englischer Garten and had a Bratwurst in der Semmel and a Maß Helles Bier and a große Bretzel. It was good. Later tonight, I'll be talking with my parents via GoogleTalk. Eventually, I'll be updating everything between last post and this one. Apparently, they have Horseback riding in the Englischer Garten, so perhaps that would be a good thing for my dad and I to do.

Tomorrow, my first day of actual work (hopefully).
