We spent two day sin Munich. The first, we spent at Dacchau — a must see. The concentration camp has come a long way since the last time I saw it. In fact, there have been new discoveries since I was there 25 years ago. And this time, we didn’t get everything stolen out of our car when we toured it. Dacchau is an emotional day, and I am glad Micah got to see it. He and my mom both spent a few hours walking through it. I spent an hour and a half, but the kids were getting restless. So in an attempt to keep the grounds sacred, I took my kids away.
When we left, I took Navy to about the coolest place an imagination can create!
Next to a flower field, there is a drop box to leave money…and a knife to CUT YOUR OWN FLOWERS!!!
I dropped in a few Euros, and Navy scoured the flowers for some she loved that were all different.
We talked about it, and it was literally our dream come true!
The next day, it was rainy, so we spent our day at The Deutsches Museum.
It is the world’s largest museum of science and technology, and it was cool.
Very, very cool.
Afterwards, we tried to hit up the famous Munich Glockenspiel. Too bad we missed it just minutes. But no worries — we saw a street band that had Pippi dancing for three straight songs! The only street band that has ever rivaled these guys, was the street band Micah and I saw in New Orleans. Both should have had a record deal.
Clearly, the dancing wiped her out!

BUT STOP THE PRESSES!!!!
We saw and did some amazing things in Munich, but the most amazing thing we all witnessed…..
Scout ate REAL pizza with red sauce!
He even dipped it in olive oil and balsamic!
Scout is ten years old, and has refused pizza all of these years…until now!
Hallelujah!
And lucky us….that isn’t the only new thing he has tried. He has had numerous cheeses, salami, sashimi, california rolls, and plenty of other things that he would have never touched two weeks ago!
It’s literally a European miracle!
