in munich on-line Greetings from Munich! While on my mini-vacation within a vacation, I decided to really relax and brought no computer and no knitting. But that shouldn't stop me from doing a little knitblogging, right? I am able to blog from this internet place underground in the Marienplatz subway station. I'll be able to post a picture of it tomorrow when I get back to the in-laws, but for now you can check out the view inside from their webcam. If you're lucky you may spot me surfing my vacation away! This "internet point" (it's like an internet cafe, minus the cafe) is really a great idea. We paid only six Euros for two hours of internet time for each of us, which we've been able to use over a number of days. You pay, get a login code and password, use as much as you want, and come back tomorrow. The account even keeps your bookmarks and URL history. Could not be easier, people! Except for the smoke, I love this place. Hmmm... that's pretty much how I feel about all of Germany. posted by alison at 6:09 am | in

The smoke is bad ,but the coffee, the cakes! Posted by: Cyndy at September 17, 2004 8:35 AMNo knitting -- aren't you going thru knitting withdrawal? Keep the posts coming!! Leslie Posted by: leslie at September 17, 2004 9:32 AMToo bad you are too early for Oktoberfest! I've been to Munich twice, right around Christmas Market time. Are you going to see Ludwig's castle? Enjoy the rest of your trip! Posted by: sue at September 17, 2004 10:23 AMI'm so glad you guys have taken a few days to yourselves! (I'm also a little confused about the "no knitting" thing, but I suppose that if you really go into withdrawal that there are a few shops around the city where you can get a quick fix!) Enjoy!
