We woke up to a rainy day on Thursday. We tried to take advantage of breaks in the rain and skip out for small amounts. I did find time to run and of course I ran around the Marienplatz and saw the Marienplatz from one of my favorite viewpoints.

It ended up raining more and we decided to relax in our hotel room during the storm. We both had a difficult time sleeping during this trip and found that we enjoyed afternoons in our hotel more than usual.
Once the rain finally slowed down a bit, we ventured out to the closest gluhwein stall near our hotel. We ended up enjoying gluhwein with some Americans we met here that were originally from Chicago but now live in Tennessee. We talked to them for quite awhile about music and other things.
Gluhwein is amazing, rain or shine.
Gluhwein and spiral potatoes make me happy!
The rain started to get heavy again so we darted into our favorite gluhwein stall to sit by the fire and watch others run around in the rain.

Once the rain stopped, we walked to Englischer Garten Park to the Chinesischen Turm Christkindlmarkt, which happens to be Ken's favorite market.

Eisstockschiessen is the German version of curling and it happens to be something that I hope to play one day in this exact spot.
It looked like it was several work groups that were there playing after work. We can only understand a little bit of what is going on, but we love to watch the game!

We left the park and on the way was Hofbrauhaus, so we figured we should stop to enjoy a drink before calling it a night!
No matter how many times we go to Munich, we must stop by the Hofbrauhaus at least once each time!
Ken loves his one liter of dunkel!
I prefer wine, but love to take a sip of Ken's dunkel and of course, will never miss an opportunity to pose with a one liter!
