We have arrived

I finally have arrived in Munich. The city which will be my hometown for the next 6 months. I say we because as you know I travelled together with my relocatin coordinator a.k.a Ms. Karina Perez. We arrived safely in Munich. The flight was pretty uneventful excep for th one piece of luggage that did not make the 2 hour connection in Paris. However, the bag was delivered this morning so now I do not need to worry about anything. My friend Carlos picked us up at the airport and took us home. Yesterday we were too tired to go out in the town excep for a 1-2 hour escapade to the local bar/restaurant for the first beer (white beer) and Schnitzel of the trip.
Today I went to school to take a placement test and I'm happy to say that after 16 years of not studying or practicing the language I did not do thaaat bad. I start clasess on June 4th.
Tomorrow the plan is to go the nearby town of Füssen which is very close to the Neuschwanstein castle. This is the castle built by King Ludwig II (the son of Ludwig I) in the second half of the 19th century. Yes...Ludwig I is the same King who held the first Oktoberfest to celebrate together with his commoners his wedding to Princes Therese. This castle is the one that Walt Disney used as his inspiration for his Cinderella castle in his theme parks.

Pictures to come soon!!!
