To the Olympics...

While in Munich, we made a trip out to the site of the 1972 Olympics.
If you remember, it also was the site of great tragedy, when 11 Israeli Olympic team members were taken hostage and then killed, along with a German police officer, by Black September, a Palestinian terrorist group.
You might think with that background, the site would be a bit more somber.
You'd be wrong.
The stadium and tower are amazing, of course, and there's a pleasant park there. But the vendors, food spots and games make it a bit too reminiscent of the boardwalk on the Jersey Shore.
It was still a cool site to visit, and since BMW World is next door, we stopped there as well.
