Day trip to Munich (Take II)

After our presentations on Wednesday, Mr. Mobini gave us an option of either continuing with presentations on Thursday or heading to Munich for the day with our group on his gracious offer to pay for tickets and lunch. We all accepted very graciously. We met at the S-Bahn at eight o’clock in the morning to head out to Munich. We started our day at BMW Welt. We saw a showcase of all of the newest and nicest cars, most pricing over one hundred thousand euros. This ultra-modern and sleek building is placed in the Olympic Park, where the 1972 Olympics were held.
We walked around this nice park and looked at the cutting-edge architecture and stadiums built. All around, this was just a nice place to sit and walk around.
Next, we took the S-Bahn to Karlzplazt for souvenir items and other knick-knacks then to Marienplatz. We arrived right as the Glockenspiel began its show. From here, we were given the option to part ways, but most of us stayed with Mr. Mobini because we love his company and heart-warming jokes.
We puttered around Munich shopping for souvenirs at just about every store. We walked around the market and around old gates/cathedrals before Mr. Mobini bought us lunch, our favorite, Doner Kebabs.  We continued to walk around and just enjoy Munich. Once navigating the trains, we arrived back to Markt Schwaben.
Once back, Aaron and I (Chris) met with our partners to go to Erding, the home of a SUPER AWESOME WATER PARK! This ain’t no American water park; this was a lawless German waterpark, an extremely dangerous and law-suit enticing water park. We peed our pants with happiness as we launched down the slides. It was nuts. After multiple bruises and stubbed toes, we called it good after 4 hours.  ‘Twas a good day.
