Day 4 - Sightseeing in Munich, Practice in Furstenfeldbruck, Germany

May 25, 2007

Our day started off with going to breakfast from 8-9. After breakfast we took a tour of Munich on the bus, and then we got off the bus and did a walking tour.

On our tours we saw the Marienplatz (the square), the two towers of the Frauenkirche, the Olympia Park and the sights of Hitler’s offices, which are now museums.

Other spots that we saw were the BMW museum, Alte Pinakothek and the Deutsches Museum of science technology. After our tours, we walked around the city and enjoyed the sights.

Our practice was the next object on the list and was supposed to start at four, but we actually didn’t get started until five.

We went through practice and then were joined by German High School football players. Approximately 100 of these players showed up to learn more techniques and the trades of the game.

With all these players being beginners to the game, they were very enthusiastic about learning more and that made the teaching process very entertaining and enjoyable.

I was having a lot of fun spreading knowledge about the game I love to kids who also share the same love.
