Turn left at the sign of the dancing cat.

Here is Ziggy in a fetching pose on the sofa. Perhaps practicing for the cat ballet?

I've been happy to see that Marel Trout has been updating lately. Check out her "Book of Cattitudes" entries posted since the beginning of 2004. She takes the funniest, prettiest pictures of her cats.

Katynka is here safe and sound, and we've already been out catting around (so to speak) Viktualienmarkt and Marienplatz. I hear Odin is living it up with the grandparents in Pittsburgh. Lucky boy!

The picture on the right was taken in the Viktualienmarkt this morning. Click on it to see a larger version. It's really spring! Yay!

Restaurant recommendation: If you're looking for authentic Nürnberger Bratwürstl in Munich, try the Bratwurstherzl am Viktualienmarkt in the eastern corner of the market. The sausages and grilled meat are absolutely great, and they don't short you on the beer like some other Nürnberger places in Munich (Glöckl am Dom). Also, they're affiliated with the Bratwursthäusle bei St. Sebald in Nürnberg (our favorite source for those wonderful little grilled sausages), and the experience is as close to Nürnberg as you can get in Munich. Try it!
