Munich Day 2 - Munich City

Munich is undeniably one of my favorite cities I've been too! Not even for its history, just being there and soaking up the atmosphere makes me want to return.



Evening Munich and Maggie


A church, of course

Maggie was fascinated by the fact that there were a few pianists playing their grand pianos on the streets. There were other musicians playing all sorts of instruments like violins, cellos etc, dressed in clothing befitting concert musicians...



Kids get their fair share of fun in Munich city...


And adults too...


And kids...

And more kids... (gulp.. was I the only adult there?)



No no.. there's still Maggie :)


Okay, so the deal was that someone (don't know who) would just leave all these toys around.. things like stilts, balls and all sorts of things I've had never seen before. And anyone's free to play with them! And people really do play with them!

I miss the atmosphere so much! It's carnival-like, even on a regular day! People are relaxed, as are we (perhaps cos we're on vacation, anyway). We could just roam around all evening in spite of our ACHING legs... I miss Munich. Grrr.



Lastly, here are some extra photos of Munich I found on the net that I also remember so fondly of Munich :) Hope you do too, Maggie.

(Maggie: Remember how we pulled out luggage and dashed like crazy? Lol!)
