So we went to Neuschwanstein, Dachau and Munich all in the same day. We went to Munich
merely to see the Glockenspiel; AKA the Big Ole Clock that is On the Big Ole City Hall. The story of the clock is that back some many years ago there was a ruler who noticed one day that some of his people were just all the sudden dancing in the middle of the street. He enjoyed it so much that he asked them to do it once every 11 years. Crazy requirements, I know, but they did it. When the ruler died however so did the thoughts of having people dance. So on the new city hall they built a clock tower with people that did it for them. So yep, basically what we went for. But what do we see when we get there? The Clock is under construction.

Oh how sad don't you think? Munich is like 5 hours away. We got stuck in traffic on the way there from Dachau and we had to leave Dachau in a hurry to get to see this clock

Next we just started walking around and right in front of the city hall is this large fountain that had a rather large figure on top made of gold. Man, Germans and their gold figures, haha.
The base of the fountain was pretty neat as well. Little cupid like warriors fighting off all kinds of "daemons". ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDquFCriJkC2vV0pLIiEQmsAjUJC8WB5yZszNKZO86QYXtuleSmDTrESYMZwn8EeCAhifKrlPvPhOsMVpEOTSNKXpMK9NHuNtu_tDcgTsoTREHtTCmAuzoMcxMmZBFnysoXuPJzaSX9ctN/s320/Trips+with+Cody+156.jpg)

A snake, a rooster, and a lion. The rooster was funny because on our way to Central Munich we were listening to Bill Engvall's "Free Range Chickens" So we figured that the rooster was a free
range rooster which is why he is worth more dead ;)

It had been raining on and off of us all morning so we figured we would turn to head home now. Drivers in Munich, CRAZY... It's like Paris I've been told, which is like Prague, which is like TJ... Oh my word it was CRAZY!
But here is one more picture to show off the massive figurines in the clock tower.
Where in the World is Sara D. Ray? Now you know.
