Munich

We left a day early for vacation and stayed in Munich.  We'll be going again in the fall for Oktoberfest and probably see the old Olympic stuff too.  But this visit was very fun, we saw the Glockenspiel and did a little shopping, saw some friends and did something really weird, ate American food.

Monkey playing paddle ball.

Scared Dog

Man with plants.

Man in time out.

A Pinocchio like street performer.  He came out just before time for the Glockenspiel Started moving.  Our kids wouldn't go near him.

The Glockenspiel was really neat but required binoculars to see what was really happening.  But there were knights jousting and people dancing, all mechanical of course.

Oooh, red knight lost, he got knocked back on his horse.

This just might be my favorite door knob of all time.

Normally we go for the German food but today we wanted AC.  It's been really mild at home but it's not so mild south of us.

No worries friends, I still don't drink beer but I always try Patrick's just to see if there is one out there that I do like.

Daniel's Halloween costume, Freddy Mercury's jump suit.

The front of a barrell of beer on the wall at this HUGE beer hall.  Not impressed, you will be.

Told you!

Munich's sewer covers aren't my favorite but they are still cool and sitll way better than any that I've seen back home.

Beautiful Flowers

So this is where Aslan goes when he's not helping Narnia.

Link needed a ride too.

A fun little piece at the entrance to the kids toy museum.  Which by the way Patrick really wanted to see, but I'm pretty sure he would have regretted it had we gone.

A bronze woman at the entrance of the market area we were in.  Obviously a fair few perverted people pass by here.  But someone was nice enough to bring her flowers.

All of the fresh fruit here is amazing, just amazing.
