München trip 1
So, we’re staying at the Monaco Hotel in München, (aka Munich, to you english speakers), which is really nice. We’re just in the shared bathroom area, but I think it’s going to work out just fine. The bathroom is so clean as to be almost sterile, and thus far there have been zero noises from anyone else. I’ll update that later, but I don’t anticipate any problems.
The room itself is really nice. AND! free nets on which to blog. :-)
We’re here in München for Neuschwanstein, (the Cinderella Castle), which is one of those “must sees”. We’ll head out there tomorrow morning. Today, we walked about München’s marktplatz, and the plan for the evening is to go find food and then beer, and then if we’re really feeling frisky, someplace to dance.
Two cool things about wandering about here that set it apart from other areas. First, we hit a permanent market that was really cool…lots of food and butchers and SOOO much fresh fruit….and a bavarian oom-pah band. It was awesome. Then, walking back, we ran into a group called “Balkan Connection“, playing jazz influenced classical with a violin playing frontman who was a true born showmen (and a damn good violinist, too). We watched them for probably at least an hour. Anne got the cd. I dropped like 6 euro into their gimme case. They were worth it.
Anyway…more tomorrow after the castle.
Wrong link on “Balkan Connection“, other than that it’s always a pleasure to read some news! Enjoy the fresh fruits!
Thanks for the tip on the link, it’s fixed now. :-) Hopefully I’ll get better about blogging. It helps when people remind me it does get read every now and again. :-)
