Day 9 Munich

Our first stop of the day was a small but unique church, a gem of Rococo architecture built by the Asam brothers in the 18th century.
 

We walked over to the Marienplatz at 11:00 to watch the mechanical figures on the clock tower.

The interior of the Frauenkirche

Delicious lunch of beer and pretzels at the Hofbrauhaus.  Pretzels are described as "the size of a small child."

After lunch Debbie and Lisa toured the Residenz Palace while Bill and Tom went to the Deutsches Museum.  Lots of pictures from the "girl's" tour and no pictures from the "boy's" tour.

We stayed at the Torbrau Hotel in Munich which we found out was 525 years old.

For our last dinner of the trip we went to the Hauxenbauer which is known for their "Pork and Veal Knuckle, Suckling Pig spit roasted over an open beechwood fire".  It was the best pork we had ever eaten.
