Munich, Germany

We had a great time in Munich. Oktoberfest was very interesting. Not my cup of tea but at least I can say I experienced it. I didn't take any pictures of it sorry to say. We walked all over Munich, Michael ate German food, I didn't because it eats up my stomach. The top pic is of Michael in the center of the city by the old town hall. What's really cool about this place is that at 11am on Sunday morning we got to experience the glockenspiel. It was so awesome! I took some video of it. Anyway, all over this area there are people singing, playing instruments, and all matter of things. We watched a man from NYC play the xylophone - it was amazing, and a quartet of policemen singing opera. The next pic is of me at the fountain right before the city center, and the bottom pic is for Caryn and Jo - I found the Duetsche Bank for you!!!

We hit up all 3 Starbucks, found the Hard Rock Cafe but couldn't eat in it due to the crowd, and stayed at a beautiful Hilton with a king size bed. The train ride was beautiful through the Alps. Gotta tell you, the houses in Austria are just what you would imagine. We went through Austria, Switzerland, Lichtenstein, and then Germany. So I've now been to 4 countries and passed through 3. I'm getting there.

Hope all is well with each of you. We may be coming home in April for a visit. Michael has at least 2 weeks off then. Can't wait to hit up the malls and see all of our family and friends. And believe me, I want to see EVERYONE!!!
