Munich-ISPO

I know that I am doing things a little bit backwards but this post is about our INCREDIBLE trip to Munich, Germany to see the famous international sports business trade show ISPO.  After a 6 hour train that took off from Milan in the wee hours of the morning, we arrived in Munich and headed straight to the Modern Art Museum.  It was stunning and incredibly inspiring.  Afterwords we headed to a typical German restaurant/beer hall and got the REAL German experience.  The next day we woke up early and headed to ISPO a trade show of high-tech sports fabrics that took place in an old airport.  It was a MASSIVE space filled with hundreds of booths showing off the newest and greatest in textiles, sporting gear, and much much more.  We had appointments with many famous companies and were able to hear first hand about all of their new products.  It was a short but amazing trip:)
