St. Goar, a tiny town on the bank of the Rhine.

	Views of St. Goar. The upper right picture is our hotel. A foggy castle is on the lower left (you can barely make out the "HOTEL" sign on it).
	Wine tasting in a cellar. Yes, those are wine bottles used as candle holders. The old guy in the yellow jacket says, "Wine gets better with age. Just like men."
	Goofing around in the hotel.
	Miscellaneous pictures of the Rhine, a castle, and the inside of our bus in case you're curious.

Munich, a much larger city.

	Some nice architecture. That's a close-up of the statue in the center of the three arches with me at the bottom.
	The BMW museum, shaped like a carburetor! I'm standing just outside the museum, with the Olympic Stadium's tower in the background. Hey, could that red contraption be a Smart Car prototype?
	Some views of Olympic Stadium. Well, not really the stadium itself, but the area around it and its weird buildings. Here is a real "olympic size swimming pool."
	The Glockenspiel! Oh, the thrill of listening to chimes and watching little figures twirl around!
	The gruelling St Peter's tower with over 400 steps! Let's climb it and take pictures! Notice the Glockenspiel in pictures 6 and 7.
	No, it's not a statue. It's a street performer who will do amusing things for deutsche marks!
	A tasty restaurant with a brass pig holding the door open. I had a fish plate. Jimmy had the pork knuckle, pictured here.
	The Hofbräuhaus, a huge beer hall! Check out the size of those mugs!
	My table at the Hofbräuhaus.
	Incredible, but true! Here is a close-up from the picture on the upper left. Pablo's hand is stuck in the mug handle! It took some beer lubrication to finally free it.
	"Get down from there!"
