wandering












I spent yesterday just wandering some of Munich, which always surprises me in how compact it is. When on trams or subways you feel like its a lot more spread out; but when wandering, you find you've traveled half the city in a short walk. Its been summer-like all this week (changing tomorrow), so windows are open and people are out in the parks or in any outdoor space or cafe they can find. I started near the Art Museum and wandered through Konigsplatz and through other parks and promenades, at one point coming upon a makeshift Michael Jackson memorial. Then on through town eventually to the point in Sendlinger Tor where I met my friends Kai, Heinrich and HP for schnitzeltag! 'cheap schnitzel night' in a local biergarten. (Who knew there were so many varieties of schnitzel?!) I have a feeling in about 48 hours that I will really be missing these warn days and nights...

If this was Facebook I'd be clicking "Like" several times, lol. These are the best photos. Thanks for bringing back memories. I have totally forgotten how walkable Munich is when we were there last December/January. I thought we were going to need multi-day tickets for public transportation but we didn't need to. I lived half of my life in Munich and we walked everywhere most of the time. Living in the States again for 20 years now, one tends to forget that life is possible without a car. Unless one lives in L.A. or Las Vegas, lol. Have a safe flight back.
