I spent yesterday just wandering some of Munich, which always surprises me in how compact it is. When on trams or subways you feel like its a lot more spread out; but when wandering, you find you've traveled half the city in a short walk. Its been summer-like all this week (changing tomorrow), so windows are open and people are out in the parks or in any outdoor space or cafe they can find. I started near the Art Museum and wandered through Konigsplatz and through other parks and promenades, at one point coming upon a makeshift Michael Jackson memorial. Then on through town eventually to the point in Sendlinger Tor where I met my friends Kai, Heinrich and HP for schnitzeltag! 'cheap schnitzel night' in a local biergarten. (Who knew there were so many varieties of schnitzel?!) I have a feeling in about 48 hours that I will really be missing these warn days and nights...
