Been busy having fun

Since it has been a very eventful week I am just now getting a chance to post some pictures of what I have been getting into. Last Wednesday I went on a walk in a park near my house. The weather was iffy but it was really neat to stroll around by myself and see what I could see. It is amusing to me that every park here has at least one beer garden, the bavarians really don't mess around when it comes to beer. On thursday Germany played another Eurocup game, which they lost sadly but I did enjoy a nice BBQ at our viewing location, at least until it started to pour rain. I met a really nice couchsurfer (story of my life right?) so hopefully we can go hiking together. I am really hoping the weather this weekend is better because I has been raining everyday now for way to long and I want to get out of the city. Enough complaining, on Saturday I went swimming at the olympic pool which was amazing but honestly a little to massive for my tastes. I felt like an ant in a giant ocean, only a bit though. The diving board there was very fun. Then that night I went to a huge street festival for the 850 birthday of the city. I got my face painted like a little kid and wandered around taking pictures for about two hours. On sunday the weather was relatively OK so I went on a really long bike ride along the Izar river bike path. The path is really nice. I rode all the way out of the city, 12.5 km and then back. I was hoping it would be warm enough to swim but the clouds had come back in. This Monday I went out and met all the couchsurfers for the Germany vs. AUstria game, which Germany won, Hurray!!! I learned the german national anthem and a few other football songs and last night was the birthday party for my guest mother which was very fun, if a bit intimidating because of all people. All and all excellent week. I wish I could stay here longer because the time is flying by, but I guess that just means I will have to come back some day. soon. Check out the pics. Love you all!
