I saw the city with Daniel, a young Civil Engineering student who took me around Munich on February 20. We met at Marienplatz and started the tour from there. One of the first places we saw was the Frauenkirche, where Daniel mentioned that the church was built in only 20 years time. He pointed out the very small representations of faces embedded in the high ceiling and said that they were probably the faces of the workers who had built the church. He also told me the story about the Devil's footprint and the wind around the church that is the Devil's horse.

We also saw the old royal Munich residenz, the brass lions (rub the nose of the lion with your left hand for good luck), the Viktualienmarkt, the most expensive shopping street in Munich, the Hofbräuhaus (where I saw the rack where locals keep their beer tankards), and other historical places.

My request for a Munich Greeter was made only a week before I left so I was glad that Daniel was able to help.
