Well, here in Germany, Boxing Day is a national holiday. Everyone gets it off work, and all German businesses are closed. Good news for me: I get the day off. Bad news for me: Everything is closed...
I called my friend Khaliq (who is Muslim, and doesn't celebrate Christmas) and we decided to explore the city.
We had a grand old time! We walked by buildings that looked historic and took tons pictures. There are many very old and beautiful churches in Munich. Most of them were closed except for the main sanctuaries, but it was still very neat. They were beautifully painted and used lots of gold accents. It was very fun.
We walked around for several hours before we realized how hungry we were!! We started looking for something to eat but EVERYTHING was closed!! About an hour before we had seen a McDonalds that was open, so decided to head that way. Luckily on the way, Khaliq spotted a little Kebap shop that was opened. Kebaps have never tasted so good!! For those of you who don't know what a kebap is... basically, they slow roast chicken all day so it's extra juicy. When you order it, they shave off enough in thin slices to make a sandwich. Then they add this yogurt sauce, spicy sauce, and whatever veggies they can find. Then they toast the bread (or tortilla) and you eat it. It is SO GOOD.
After lunch, we walked around the city more and kept running into statues of lions. So we decided to make a montage of lion shots.
At the end of the day, we found this Irish Pub.. called "the irish pub" and had end of the day drinks. I had BIONADE. It's this weird hippie soda that's all natural.. but pretty tasty. It was a very lovely day off!

What a wonderful way to spend Boxing Day! The pictures are beautiful and so is the weather. It looks like you had a lot of fun. Those churches are incredible looking. Why do they have lions? In the second to the last picture you made nice use of the architecture.... on my phone it looked like you were wearing Viking horns! The last lion looks like he works at McDonalds, is he holding a pack of bacon and wearing sunglasses?
