Off to Munich

After leaving the airport we drove straight to Munich to enjoy the beauty of this wonderful city. The weather is picture perfect if you like a bit of rain, cold and wind. We parked the cars at Nika's sister's home and took the train into the center city. Immediately we entered the square where Hitler began many marches and held many speeches. You can see the great lions gracing the entryway of the building. It is both beautiful and strange to walk in such history. Flanking the square is a beautiful park adjacent to the Municipal buildings. We stretched our legs and enjoyed the many couples and families enjoying a day at the park. The schools are on holiday so families are enjoying a day in the city. We then had coffee in a very old and quaint cafe just off the park. Jean is seen sitting with her Aunt Myra as we order coffee and cheesecake. It was WONDERFUL! Later we toured the city square and had weisswurst and my first German beer in a large biergarten surrounded by chestnut trees. Yes, there was an oompa band in the other room and a guy in Lederhosen at the next table.
