Small Update
It's quarter of three and it's raining in Munich! I'm glad I got out earlier and ran my errands.
I took the U-Bahn to Marienplatz this morning and came up just as the Glockenspiel was doing its thing at 11:00. Not that big a crowd today -- the tourists have dropped off quite a lot, and it's been gray all day.
I went into a couple of shops on Marienplatz and then walked down Kaufingerstrasse to Stachus. I had to pick up a few things and of course you can find everything in the world down that shopping corridor. I had lunch at a cafe down near the Stachus, then walked back up to Marienplatz for the U-Bahn.
On the weekend I took some pictures but I haven't had a chance to process them yet. Maybe later today or tomorrow I can get them up. We drove out to Kloster Andechs on Sunday, an old monastery where they brew beer and have a nice big beer hall. I took some pretty pictures there.
This weekend we are planning to get away for a couple of days. Marty is off Friday, so we may go down to Innsbruck for the night, and then come back by way of Füssen and see a couple of castles. You know if we go to Füssen, I'll take pictures. I've been to Neuschwanstein at least twice before, but man. It's amazing every time you see it.
I'm posting this picture as an example of the dairy products we have here that I'm not familiar with from the US. I have to say, I'm not even actually sure what "thick milk" is, but it sounded like something that would be good for making a quiche (yet another use for the Bucket o' Cheese), and so I bought it. The funniest thing is that I didn't even realize until later what it looked like in English. I guess I was thinking in German, because it made perfect sense to me when I bought it. But hours later, when I saw it again in my refrigerator, I couldn't stop giggling.
