Post #?? Weekend in München

Well, yesterday was spent traveling with my Ansprechspartner Gunter to Motorrad Days in Garmisch-Partenkirchen on his motorcycle. It was a fun day; 2 hours there and 2 hours back. I have come to the conclusion that riding on the back of a motorcycle is like riding a horse. In order to keep steady, you have to use your legs to lower the center of gravity below the level of the spine(of the horse) or the seat(of the motorcycle). It was definitely interesting going at 150 km/h on a motorbike for the first time. Motorrad Days was a fun event. It was held at the base of the Zugspitze in Garmisch and there were a lot of motorräder there. For lunch, we went up the ski-lift and had a meal of bier, semmelknodel, sauerkraut, and the back of a baby pig. On the way back from this event, we made a stop in Trudering for ice cream. Unfortunately, a woman backed into Gunter's parked Motorrad and it tipped over onto the sidewalk. No major damage, just paint and a new side box.

Today, after going to church at Sankt Peter, it rained pretty heavily, so, since I had my trombone with me, I took it and practiced under the umbrellas on Marienplatz during the rain. It was pretty cool. It didn't last a very long time though.

Now, I'm just waiting for a little while before heading down to the free showing of Lohengrin at the Staatstheater.
