Germany Trip

I took a trip over to Munich, Germany for Carl Zeiss MicroImaging in the beginning of March.  I went over with my colleague Aaron Brown for 10 days.  We had some free time at night and on the weekends to tour around.  We definitely drank too much beer and had our fill of Bavarian food while we were there.  There were some pretty good sites to see around Munich, with the highlights being the Beer and Brewery tour we went on.  We learned all sorts of things about the history of beer.  One of the tidbits was the Bavarian "Reinheitsgebot" (Purity Law), the oldest and still valid food law, which meant the birth of modern beer.  It would have been great to have been here during summer to enjoy the outdoor beer gardens, but none the less it was still fun.

 

Since we were in Germany for the weekend we wanted to take a day trip somewhere close and it was recommended to visit Austria, specifically the city of Salzburg.  We took the train over in the morning and had a good tour of the city.  We picked up a official guide book and hit the top 10 things in Salzburg.  We saw Mozart's residence and birthplace, some great old churches, Hohensalzburg Castle on the hill and even brought home some of the famous Mozart Balls (Mozartkugel).  It was pretty cold that day, but there wasn't too much snow falling.  It turned out to be a great day trip.
