Surfing in Munich

Munich for the weekend with the sisters for some baby-gazing. Big ups to Karen Virginia - not yet 4 months old and she's already working the passport.



In the city itself, it's germany germany, what you're picturing. Olde worlde charm meets fascist shadows, dressed in lederhosen, or a skinny suit. Drank beers one night at the Hofbrauhaus, der Führer's favorite, and another afternoon at the Augustinier Brewery, open since 1328. Checked out a huge selection of late Cy Twombly paintings. Watched the surfers on the river. Bought a silk shirt at a consignment shop from 3 little old ladies. After giving us directions to a nearby cafe, one of them suggested we tell the cafe owners that they had sent us; it would help things along. The other chipped in: "Stimmt. Anfänge sind immer schwierig." Beginnings are always difficult. Truth.
