Munich Visit w/ Hagen & Natasha

A few weeks back we took a weekend trip to visit our Friends Hagen & Natasha and their two boys (Darius & Nils) in Munich. We enjoyed the great weather and good times with friends. I am not sure how good the audio is so here is a breif description of what you'll see. First up is a few pics from our trip to a wild park. The rat/beaver looking animal is a nutria. I heard these all the time scratching in back alleys in Boston while I was working there but luckily never saw one. They actually look quite cute but I would hate to run into an urban version! We also spent a day hiking in the Alps. Songs from the "Sound of Music" movie kept running through my head. You can see two cows in the video, one has his special "dress up" bell on and the other has on his "every day" bell. Hagen told me all cows have 2 bells one for every day and one for special events. Thought that was interesting. we stopped and had lunch at a little restaurant in the middle of nowhere. The bread was amazing. They bake it themselves in stone ovens. We took some home! Lastly the huge green plants are rhubarb. I have never seen them so big. Must be the healthy alpine air.
