Hello from Munich !. Diane and I are staying in my usual hotel.. The Prinzrgent .. it’s really nice and homey and some of the staff actually greets me by name now..

Diane and I got here about 10:30 this morning.. and promptly fell asleep.. the ride over was cramped.. but mercifully short.. not much time for sleeping.. We woke.. and went for a run to better explore the neighborhood. it’s really nice.. though it’s cold and damp like it is as at home

Around 3:30 we took the S-bahn into downtown Munich. Believe it or not.. after being here 4 time in the last 3 months, I’d never seen downtown Munich. It was really fun exploring the place !

 

we headed down to the vitikulsmarkt (sp ?) and checked out all the shops.. tons for meat, cheese, poultry, fish..

 

we grabbed some sandiches and sat down with everyone else to eat..

 

we met this beautiful fellow

 

we were just by therir maypole.

 

after our snack, rechecked out some of the higher end food stores.. home made pasta 

 

 

chocolate everywhere !

 

 

then we checked out the stadt museum .. some cool stuff in there

]

outside was a monument to all the jews killed by the nazis.. which  was very different than any other I’ve seen ..

 

 

after that.. we did some more exploring

 

 

we ended up finding a sampling restaurant that we’d hoped to go to it friends.. but we couldn’t get a reservation.. we snick in before 6OM.. and it worked !

 

 

ok.. jet lag really kicking in.. more explorations tomorrow..

right now I need to say ‘scholar gut’ before i drop my laptop again.zzzzzzz

 

nite all, nite sam
