Munich

Munich was a bunch of fun.

We started out early Friday, grabbed Ann at the airport, and headed down to Füssen to see the castliest castle in the world (otherwise known as Neuschwanstein) and spend the day wandering through the Bavarian countryside. Our navigator decided not to lead us down any autobahns and instead sent us in a wonderfully roundabout path south. It was a beautiful day, and we had good company, so we did not mind at all.

The castle was good fun. We were able to join an English tour and had a nice lunch afterwards. Then we made our slow way back towards Munich. After checking into our hotel we had some dinner and went to bed.

Saturday was filled wth shopping and eating. Nothing is open on Sunday, so the stores were filled with people. The boy was very excited by the crowds, and was happy to be reminded that we will be moving to a city soon. We did come across a lost child, so we also discussed the downside of moving from the country to the city. We couldn't do much for the lost boy, but we saw some women stopping to help him. He was actually the second lost child we saw last weekend, but was luckily the last.

Sunday was filled with rest and more food. We stopped at one of our favorite restaurants. It is a bar, but also has the best Tex-Mex food we have found in Germany. Luckily, Sausalito's is also a chain, so we have now been to three of their outlets. We also took a tour of the city and did some Bookcrossing, leaving the book with our tour guide.

Sadly, Monday morning meant saying goodbye to Ann and heading home to Vilseck. We had a wonderful few days seeing new things and visiting with an old friend. There's not much more I want in life, really. New things and old friends.
