1983 in Munich

In the summer of 1983, I spent a month in Germany.  It was via a high school exchange student program where I stayed with a host family, but it lasted for one month, rather than the one year that may be typical for exchange students.  My host family resided in Mannheim, but one weekend, 5 other American high school students (all on the same program as me) and I took the train and spent a few days in Munich.  Here are a few photos originally taken with my Kodak Instamatic camera that was overpriced when I paid $17 for it.  Maybe someday I'll post more photos from my trip to Germany, but don't count on it.

As always, click for larger images.

I think the photos bordering this cell were taken from the tower at the Olympic village.  It looks like I don't have a picture of the tower itself.




The photos to the left were taken from the ground at or near the Olympic village.  I must have been impressed by the BMW building,


I think the photos to the left were taken at or near Marienplatz.  You can see the Neues Rathaus (New City Hall) in both, with the image on the right showing the twin-domed Frauenkirche (Church of our Lady) in the background.


In München steht ein Hofbräuhaus, Eins, zwei, g'suffa...

I don't remember the name of the guy on the left.  It's the only photo I could find of any of the fellow Americans on the trip.

Actually, I'm not sure I was in Munich when I took the image to the left, but I'm pretty sure it's from somewhere in Germany.
