A1! Like the bbq Sauce!

First item on the list today was the Central Market Hall: an indoor farmers market selling fruits, veggies, all kinds of meat, pastries, and souvenirs. We headed to a pastry stall where Nicole got a chocolate-y croissant, and Katie told the lady she wanted whatever was the lady's favorite. We dont know what it was, but it definitely was tasty!
We looked at all of the stalls, and stared at each other when we crossed a dead pig, propped up on one of the counters, with sunglasses on. It was disgusting.
We stopped back at the hostel for a quick minute before heading to the Great Synagogue and Jewish Museum. This Synagogue is the largest in Europe and second largest in the world (the first is in NYC). It looked sooo much like a regular church, we were pretty disappointed - but it was very beautiful nonetheless.
After that, we headed to the train station to purchase our tickets to Munich. Another 7 1/2 hour train ride...Yippeeee!
We then headed to Heroe's Square and the surrounding park, which has a really great castle (that we failed to take any pictures of) and a couple of museums. We went into the Museum of Fine Arts, but didnt stay too long because, honestly, you can only look at so many paintings of Jesus.
We left the museum and walked to the Opera House, where we waited 25 minutes for a guided tour of the place. It was pretty amazing, but you folks back home are just going to have to see it yourselves because we werent allowed to take pictures.
Thennnn, we headed back to our hostel and found ourselves a hostel in Munich, as every host we asked has said they have no vacancies.
