around munich

Back from Munich!


We surfed.


We rubbed the lions at the Residenzpalast for luck.


We laughed at the dirndl t-shirts being sold in preparation for Oktoberfest.


We laughed at the funny german words.

And guess what's right next door to the Suckfüll? The Wollkorb!


Oh yes, it's a yarn store!

More tomorrow....

All these photos make me miss Germany. I lived there for 6 years growing up in West Berlin and Bad Kreuznach as an Army Brat. Looking forward to more pictures of your trip!

Keep those yarn posts comin' girlie! Woo hoo...

Anxiously awaiting details...

Hi! Believe it or not: This a comment from a German blogreader living in ... MUNICH! Have fun here and be careful with the Oktoberfest beer. Besides: Suckfüll definitely is no German word and I also had to laugh. And if you need more yarn: Take a look at the wool section in "Hertie" (near Karlsplatz/Stachus). They don't have a hugh variety to choose from but sometimes interesting offers on sale. Daniela
