Auf Wiedersehen Munich

This is the worst day of the visit...saying good bye to the family.  I'm still waiting for the Star Trek transporter to become a reality so I can just pop in and out of the places I want to be.  It totally pisses me off that they could do that on TV all those years ago and we haven't figured it out in real life

Yesterday Brigitte had to go back to teaching and the boys had to go back to school so I took off on my own and went to town.  I walked for four hours straight just looking at everything and breathing in the ambiance of the city I have loved for forty years.  Here are some of my favorite places.
This is the hotel at the Viktualien Market.  I could stay here forever and just walk over the the market and eat Curry Wurst and drink beer until I fell off my chair.

 This is the passage way to the Hofbrau House.   If you look with your imagination you can see Joey and Dee Dee running like crazy to catch the tram to Perlacher Forrest.

 Here is the wall of clear beer steins at the Hofbrau House.  They will be gone in minutes as the waitresses fill them up and deliver them to the tables and then like magic, more clean ones will appear out of nowhere.

And of course...I couldn't leave with out a trip or two to my favorite candy shops.  The first on is a favorite because of the light fixture...modern lights hung in a row with crystals hung abound them.

But this candy store I love not only because it is a work of art in itself, but each piece of candy is like a small treasure.  They are beautiful!!!!  And the bad news...they are so very delicious.  One of the reasons that  I will have to have a seat belt extender for the flight home.

Now comes the most difficult test of my new blogging experience...will I be able to find a  way to do this once I am on my own and don't have Brigitte to come running every time a come up against a problem that I don't know how to solve.  Hopefully I will be motivated enough to find my path so I won't be blogless until she arrives in Los Angeles in August.
