We're now in the city of Augsburg--named after Caesar Augustus


 A flat roof indicated the original building had been destroyed in WWII but the building was rebuilt.

Town hall in Augsburg; notice the double headed eagle in the Hapsburg (sp) family crest


The "Whisperer" was our gadget that allowed us to hear our tour guide when out and about

The back of the pew flips to either side so you can use the altar on either end.


Pinecones is the theme in the city.  The manhole covers have pinecones.  The lamps have a pinecone on the top.  Many of the buildings have some pinecone decoration.

And so begins our evening in Munich!
Munich Bavarian Dinner--.5L dark beer, beef broth with dumpling or salad; pork loin with crackling and potato dumpling; apple bread pudding--DELICIOUS!






Auf Wiederschen!

Day 11 Our final full day in Munich.  We have limited pictures because we did the bus tour of Munich and it was difficult to take notes and take pictures that didn't end up blurry. First section built of the summer palace for the wife of the king; 2 more huge sections were added Hanging the lights on the tannenbaum in Marienplatz. The town hall is behind with the glockenspiel in the tower. Can you see the figures in the second picture? Munich's May Pole Second half of day was spent on an excursion to Lindorf Schloss (palace). This was the palace built by Ludwig II up in the Bavarian Alps.  It's architecture was strongly influenced by the French.  Unfortunately the garden area was put to rest for the winter.
