The last city we ended up in during our European adventure was Munich, Germany. I am not trying to be insulting, but I did try to warn Mollie that Munich is not really famous for being a fun tourist destination. But it turns out I was wrong. It was a lot of fun, the food was great, and besides, it was close to two things on Mollie’s dream list… which we will get to later…
Many of you may be familiar with Munich’s famous Glockenspiel… or at least I hope you are, because I took a lot of pictures of it.
We left Rothenburg in the early afternoon and the drive through the German countryside was beautiful.
To be honest, we didn’t go see the Glockenspiel until the next morning, but I am trying to build up the end of our trip into a crescendo of excitement… and the Glockenspiel isn’t really all that exciting.
But we did have a lovely breakfast at a café while we waited for the Glockenspiel to do the most exciting thing it does…
And the coffee was really strong… and came with whip cream…
Now don’t get me wrong… Munich is a lovely city. It just feels so new. Maybe that is because America and Great Britain really flattened the place back in World War Two.
I don’t even know if that is a new Glockenspiel or if the original survived the war.
But either way, let’s all meet here later to see the Glockenspiel do it’s thing… shall we?
I mean, you know, so that we can move on to the big finish…
Because I might still have other adventures to share from this summer… you never know…
Pouring My Art Out 
Crike, where else did you go??? This is an epic epic trip.
We have two more awesome day trips and another bit of fun in Munich itself.
Coool… just saw the Nazi stuff… don’t know if I’m up to that.
well it isn’t a documentary so much as a commentary
Munich is a fun city. I enjoy my time there. the food is great, the people are friendly and there is lots to see. unfortunately it usually rains whenever I’m there. that’s OK. that’s what umbrellas are for.
Very awesome Art. And looking at all this through the eyes of a 16 year old must have been a blast. We get so used to our daily routines and sights that stepping into a totally different culture must have been a hoot for her.
There are no words… and I can’t show the pictures…
Great pictures. Great Architecture in Munich, apparently – very artful.
It was an interesting city. Parts were very decorative or fantastically modern. Other parts were extremely drab.
I won’t wait for the Glockenspiel to do its thing. I’ll just glance at my watch. I’m not into noisy clocks.
But this is sort of a cool one… and not all that noisy.
Well, it is beautiful, I’ll say that. I’ve been enjoying your photos of Europe.
yay
