One of my dear travel companions and I, with our electric-green European Mountain Dew bottles.
One of our first views in Munich.
Our new friend in Munich. This was after one of our party climbed up for a "ride." It wasn't me.
Leaves.
The Alte Pinakothek, the "old art" museum in Munich (as opposed to the "new art" museum and the "modern art" museum). This was an amazing place-- a fantastic collection of some wonderful artists' works, including two rooms of Rubens (many of us loved those best).
Perhaps you can see, at the bottom, the hundreds of bicycles parked here. Bicycles are a major source of transportation in Germany.
One of the best things in large European cities: the street musicians!! This was just one of three sets we saw.
One corner of the building that houses the famous Glockenspiel (clock), in the main "Marienplatz" square.
Another part of the same building.
And the same again. Wunderbar.

Hi Emily--
Don't you just love Munich!! The old city is a wonder to behold during the Christmas season. And that Glockenspiel--I have lots of pictures too.
How's your German coming along? Wish we could "chat" when you get back to Oregon and OPRD.
Take care.
PS: Am having lunch with Tasha next Tuesday.
Barbara, the retiree
