1/14


Today we had walking tour of the city center in Munich. The tour guide was amazingly informative and provided us an overview of the Oktoberfest and a brief history of Bavaria. It was interesting learning about Stachus and how the people of Munich refuse to call the Stachus Square, Karlplatz due to the fact that Karlplatz was a hated elector. I also learned that pretzels are twisted that way to mirror the way monks used to pray. After the tour, we grabbed a beer and food. I ordered a wheat beer that had a potent smell of banana. Lately, the wheat beers I have been drinking have had strong odors of banana. Knowing this, I have contemplated the idea of wheat beer (with a banana odor) with dark, chocolate malt and having it resemble a banana split.
