Vincent, and the hurricane.

So today was a pretty chill day. We started out by eating our breakfast to stairway to heaven, and drinking watery tang. then we managed to make all of our buses and trains exactly on time. We went to church, where I realized (as I was handed a hymn book) that I would not be singing in English today.
After  church, we went to an art museum. Now, I don't think I was fully prepared for this art museum, partly because the night before, when Carrie was like, 'oh, this one has Vincent van Gogh.' It didn't really register as... holy poop, I'm going to be seeing the works of one of the greatest artists ever in the entire world ever who just happens to be my absolute favorite ever in the entire world ever. Nope. that didn't really register until I looked at the little list of what is in which rooms... and I realized that we were about two rooms away from: 22: Vincent van Gogh.
  So we kind of turn the corner, and this little picture shows up of some sun flowers. and I think I had a bit of a heart attack. There was a pretty significant gasp, followed by some laughing by my aunt. Then the usual followed. Super touristy nerd photo shoot with a famous inanimate object. Pretty great.



And then approximately 50,000,000 people decided to show up and get in the way. So we waited them out, and continued to enjoy some major awesomeness.


After that we just found some Monet and Picasso. You know. No big deal.


Oh wait.
Then we proceeded back to the gift shop where I learned that every book that is quality (quality meaning Starry Night is in color) is completely in German. That being said, I found my way to the napkin section and bought some napkins. :)
So then, we got some linner (because lunch has been mistakenly canceled on accident for the past two days) where we had fantastic food. Half way through, it started to rain. Rain in Munich means flash flood with thunder and lightning and hurricane. So.... we decided after watching a few people come in drenched, we would... stay for dessert. Good choice too, because when we walked out, it was a perfectly nice, sunshiny day. Jolly good.
Well that's all for today. Tomorrow, we head to the Alps where we go hide out with Hitler. Fun fun fun. Good night!
