I am not sure what exactly I was expecting from Germany but Alpine mountains, breathtaking castles and old quant row houses out of a storybook were NOT it. I got stuck in Munich for nearly a week unexpectedly (a story for another time) where I found the largest moving clock I could have ever imagined. I will forever consider it the city of bells for how often you can hear them ringing throughout the day. And, I almost got arrested setting off an alarm by mistake in one of the museums.. Overall, it was more beautiful and fun than I expected!
