The plane ride was really uncomfortable and I couldn't fall asleep. Some woman had an accident and the rotes kruez (Red Cross) showed up. The first thing we noticed about Germany is that it looks like Iowa. The subway is easy to use, but lugging around a suitcase is annoying and gets in people's way. We go to the hostel and eat, then head to Olympiapark. The swimming pool is really cool, but it started raining so we couldn't go up into the tower. When we get back to the hostel, we have to make the beds which is very complicated. You put a non fitted sheet over the bed for sanitary reasons then you put a bare comforter in a sheet and use that for the covers. Very hard to do when everyone is tired from a long day.

Sunday June 4th (DAY 2)

Our day one and day two seem to blend together for me because of our changing time zones and little sleep. A woman on the plane had a medical problem which caused a lot of noise; the noise is what most on the plane woke up to. I myself did not sleep very much because I was nervous because I was in the plane and excited because the trip was finally happening! After we got off the plane, we went into the airport and then onto a train. This was the first experience of a big building without air conditioning which was a shocker to everyone. We got money out of the ATM for the next couple days and then got onto the train. With our huge luggages and little amount of sleep, it was difficult to say the least. When we finally got to our youth hostel, we got our luggages and rooms situated, changed, and headed out into the city. Sadly, it began to rain as soon as we got to the park, which was a couple train stops away from the hostel. We went up to Olympia Park where the Olympics were held in the 1970s and were able to see the inside of the swimming pool area and the exterior of the other buildings. Even though most of us were running on little sleep and it was raining, we all enjoyed ourselves on our first full day in München, Germany.
