Driving in from the airport I saw a sign pointing off the freeway that said "Ausfahrt". I giggled to myself thinking "that's an exit to a city that sounds like 'fart'". Only later when I walked by a parking garage and saw the Ausfahrt and Einfart "exit" and "enter" signs did I catch on

There were so many cool pastry stands, and they were all outstanding (I felt it my responsibily to test lots of them for the sake of science). This one was right in the subway station

As I climbed out of the subway and started walking through old Munich there were lots of cool fruit stands

Like Seattle had Pigs, and London had Cows, Munich had cool lions

Check out this little dog's teeth. He's going nuts!

I could actually see the twin spires of this cathedral all the way across the city from my hotel room

The cathedral was beautiful inside. It had incredible floor to ceiling stained glass windows

You know, I should really keep track of what the things I see are, but this sculpture was neat

The inside of the church was more stark and less ornate than those you'd see in France, but beautiful

The catecombs below the cathedral were cool

There were far out wooden statues along one side of the church

Check this out, you can almost miss it if you're not looking closely, but they've incorporated multimedia into the cathedral with a screen that lowers like a railroad crossing (left side of the door) and then a projector with a mirror mouted to fire over at the screen. Pretty cool

The stained glass was really neat

I found this adorable little toy store on a side street and got some cool toys and books as gifts

In the spire of this building is an old fashioned glockenspiel (sp?) with neat characters that go around in circles and act out some sort of story

Here's a close up

A cool horse drawn carriage

There was this great area with lots of booths selling different kinds of food

A closer shot

I was told in no uncertain terms by a conductor that I was not to take pictures in the subway. Ooops

I love taking motion shots of train cars

One more motion shot

Walking down the pedestrian street in old Munich

I loved this underwater lion

Of course I had to have dinner at this place

A self-portrait of me heading up to yet another pastry shop

Really cool spires in the square

The sky was beautiful in these night shots

I like the lights on the side of this building

I got these bunnies and put them in Christi's Easter basket

The square lit up at night

Yet another building that I don't know anything about

There were so many cool old buidings

We had to go to dinner at the Hofbrauhaus. It was fun and I even had a beer. Apparently they were out of Apple-tinis

This cool old German band was playing at the restaurant

A shot of a bus in motion at night

The blue of the sky is really rich

The same building from earlier at night

Neat arches in this building

This is a time lapse shot of the streets in front of my hotel

Looking out across Munich you can see the spires of the Cathedral I went to earlier

At the Microsoft site they had a neat little model of the site. I love little models!
