This is our living room. Our TV and reading chair (with magazine rack).

Lisa talking to Danya (our sister-in-law). This is a view of our office. The lamp in the background is where we keep the Olympic flame between games.

My new car. You probably wouldn't recognize it without girls hanging off of it, but it is a Mazda 626, just like my brothers, except it is silver and German specs.

It is pretty snowy here. It has snowed on and off all week, but we only have about 1/2 inch.

Satellite TV! Finally, I get to watch the Super Bowl at 2 am!

A well hidden ice skating rink in Munich. Behind the gate is where they would enter the old city with salt or "white gold".

A nice church on the way into Munich. Notice how there's no snow....yet.

The "Amerika Haus". This is where we (the Americans) re-eduacated the Germans after the war.

A main building in Munich.

The holes in the wall are shrapnel from allied bombs in WWII. Or at least that's what the guy said that charged me $10 to look at them.

The large tower with the clock that will be discussed later.

Lisa in the court square acting like she's not paying attention.

The clock tower where we began our trip in Munich. The little people go around, etc at 11 and 12 on Saturdays.

In Europe, in most places, you have to pay to use the bathroom. It doesn't matter what you do, same price.

A lion fireman.

A flowery lion. It was kind of like the lion village people.

"I got worms"

This is me in front of a giant clock tower.

The alter in a church that we went in on the way back to the bus.

This is Lisa in front of a nice coffin for somebody. There is a guy with a sword keeping people away.

This is me on the way back to the bus. As you can see, the shopping is not too bad in Munich. Notice the new hat and scarf.

This is Lisa on the steps of a famous building on the way back to the bus.

This is the interior in a Church. This was one of those churches that looks "fake" because there is so much stuff.

A picture of street musicians in Munich. This is way more elaborate than the guys in New Orleans.

A picture of the main opera house in Munich.

Enchanted, I'm sure!

This is Lisa having her fortune told by a lion. He told her: "I see travel in your future..."

This is Lisa after I asked her to catch a snowflake to show how big they were.

This picture is not of a crane. It is to show how it was snowing on the way back to the bus.

This is the place outside Munich where the Palestinian terrorists kidnapped the Israeli olympic team.

This is the gate that you would come through when you came in on a train to the concentration camp. The words on the gate, "Arbeit macht frei" means "Work Brings Freedom".

This is an overview of the camp layout as you come in.

This is a view down the fenceline as you come into the camp.

This is Lisa walking into Dachau.

This is the memorial sculpture that is outside the main museum at Dachau.

This is to show that the snow was just starting to fall when we arrived.

This is the memorial that is at the camp. It is in French, English, German, and Hebrew.

These are the foundations of the barracks where the prisoners lived. They tore the barracks down but the foundations still remain.

This was made walking up to the crematorium. The barracks were behind us.

This is outside the crematorium.

This is me in "no mans land". If a prisoner were to be in this area, if I understood correctly, he would have been killed.

This is Lisa in the solitary confinement barracks.

This is a view down the hall of the solitary confinement barracks. This is where deserters, etc were kept.

This is a toilet inside the barracks.

This is Lisa outside where they were keeping the stuff that they were digging up (pots, pottery, etc).

This is a view down the lane. On the left are the foundations of the prisoner barracks.

This is a view of one of the memorials at the camp. There is a Jewish Synagogue, a Protestant Church, a Catholic Church, and a Russian Orthodox Church.

This is a view of the main building at the site.

This is the main "museum" at the Dachau concentration camp. The sculpture is a memorial.

A view of the bunks where the prisoners slept.
