Munich
Munich is the third largest city in Germany, after Berlin and Hamburg and it is known as a city of revelers. But there is much more to Munich than Oktoberfest and the city's reputation as the beer-brewing capital of the world. Munich is many things to Germany. It's the country's high-tech hub (Silicon Bavaria), one of its film and publishing centers, the historical residence of Bavarian royalty, the headquarters of such corporations as BMW and EADS (European Aeronautic Defence and Space Co.) and the city in which most German professionals routinely say they would like to live. And with beautiful gardens like those at Nymphenburg Palace, the Englischer Garten and Botanischer Garten, it's even easier to understand why. Munich throbs with trendy shopping, grand churches, opulent palaces, vibrant music and art scenes. The Neue Pinakothek is home to paintings from some of the most famous impressionist painters like Goya and Van Gogh. The Alte Pinakothek houses old master paintintgs. There are many other opportunities in Munich to experience the rich arts scene in the many other museums there.
Mississippi River
The Mississippi River is the second-longest river and chief river of the second-largest drainage system on the North American continent, second only to the Hudson Bay drainage system. From its traditional source of Lake Itasca in northern Minnesota, it flows generally south for 2,320 miles (3,730 km) to the Mississippi River Delta in the Gulf of Mexico.
