We had another busy weekend the past couple of days. We started with dinner at Alter Hof on Friday night. I ordered a rainbow trout, with cucumber salad, lemon butter, and potato rösti. As it turns out, I got an entire fish! That was interesting to eat, but it all tasted very good!

On Saturday, Zach and I went to the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site (KZ-Gedenkstätte). It was an extremely somber experience to see the conditions in which so many people were held before and during WWII. Overall, the entire memorial was very well-done, with a good audio guide as you walked around and a very thorough museum in one of the original buildings on the site.

Afterwards, we headed into the shopping areas around the center of the city to walk around and window shop for souvenirs. Nothing really caught our eye, but we did eventually go through the Viktualienmarkt, which is a huge outdoor market with lots and lots of food and fresh produce. Unfortunately, we were on our way to dinner at that point, so we didn't eat anything. We plan to get lunch there next weekend though! Then we headed down to Paulaner Bräuhaus for dinner, where I got the "For Fellows" steak. It was a 250g Bavarian steak seared on the outside and cooked to medium-rare perfection on the inside. It had a red wine onion sauce with mashed parsnip carrots and potato fritters on the side. What an excellent meal! Kind of want that again right now...
Anyway, today we went north to the Deutsches Museum Flugwerft Schleißheim, which is an extension of the main Deutsches Museum with a focus on aircraft. It wasn't super large, but it did have a pretty wide variety of airplanes to see. My pictures didn't turn out too great, but I did get a couple good ones that I put in the Flickr album. Since the Flugwerft museum didn't take a very long time, we then went to the BMW Museum nearby. It was pretty cool to see a lot of nice-looking cars all in one place. Too bad they're so expensive to own and come with a negative stigma in the U.S. Oh well!
