This is the first of a few posts getting caught up with my travels. I’ve been in Southern Bavaria this weekend visiting friends and haven’t had a chance to post. Saturday was a very interesting day to be in Munich. One of the city’s soccer teams, target=”_blank”>Bayern München, was playing for a European championship later that night against Inter Milan in Madrid, Spain. Although the game was in Spain, fans traveled to Munich to watch the game at the team’s home stadium and to partake in a bit of pre-game festivities. I have to say it was a sports experience unlike any other to see these fans roaming the streets.
