Munich Day 4


Rain today. Lots of it.  Went into the Viktualien Markt to shop for dinner.  The market has been in Munich since 1807.  Found a Starbucks and were able to get picture posted for the blog.   The rain never stopped. 

Went to the Neues Rathaus to see the Glockenspiel perform at 11:00a. The towers oriel window, brightly colored figures emerge and enact a dance and a jousting tournament from the 16the Century
 
Back to the Viktualien Markt and picked up, cheese, bread, sausage, olives, fruit and vegetables. 
 
 
Drove out to Dachau; about 30  minutes from Munich to visit the concentration camp memorial site.  Sobering place and such a difficult reality to grasp.  Worth the visit to remind us all of everything we have to be thankful for.
