Three Months in France March 31 – June 28, 2007

Today’s Photos

Finally, after the Internet has stabilized, I can update the blog.

So, after touring Wolfegg I took an early train back to München. The day was beautiful and the landscape was stunning. I was traveling through parts of the German alps with lush evergreen forests and plentiful lakes, all the towns seemed really quaint. Some places seemed like I just stepped out into an episode of “Heidi.” I think I can see myself spending a month or two here.

Most of the homes here were very well maintained either because they aren’t very old or they all have the money to renovate. I also was quite surprised at the number of solar panels I saw. Way more than I have ever see in Vancouver or other Canadian cities. Many of these smaller villages were riddled with these solar paneled roofs. I was quite impressed.

After arriving in München I quickly dropped off my bags and was eager to start touring. One thing I noticed about the city is that is was very clean and very well kept and of course, lots of tourists.

I walked around quite a bit, saw inside and out of many churches parks a museum or two and eventually stumbled across a huge market that was spread across two streets. There were a couple of bands at either end of the market playing and celebrating München’s 849th birthday! Lucky me! I had a tonne of beer and bratworst that night – well a tonne for me (only 2 beers).

I was sad to see the Glockenspiel in scaffolding but I had a great day anyway. The bonus is, I didn’t see any dog pooh anywhere!!

Ahhhh, i love München.
