Munich pix and meeting with Barbara!

[beeniesmom]

My hubby and I went to Munich, Germany to spend a few days over the new years holiday! We were lucky enough to have a mini PT meeting and tour with Barabara. I wish we could have met her 2 cats Filou and Tigris.

The first pic is from the plane.
We were approaching Munich airport.

This is the one and only foto we took with Barbara. That is me in the dark coat and Barbara in the red one. We are standing outside of one of the two old city gates.

Tese are some shots of a church we passed. They are a bit dark. Sorry.

I took this shot especially for Barbara. It is a detail in the cieling of the church we visited.

First shot of City hall in Marienplatz.

We enjoyed some hot coffee at the Glockenspiel. It is a caffe with a splendid view of Marienplatz and offered wonderful desserts!

My hubby standing outside of the place we had dinner. It was very good. We enjoyed wheat beer and some local cuisine. Barbara couldn't join us because she had family arriving at her house.

Super pictures! What fun! Glad you had a chance to meet up with Barbara! The food made me hungry!

[Barbara]

You made wonderful pictures :)

Thankyou for the sun in the ceiling of the Asam church- I really love it :D

I think you have done everything Bavarian. Frankie and Beenie must be jealous when looking at all these sausages :D

[Killearn Kitties]

What a fantastic break you had! I can't believe you took so many pictures for us, even of what you were eating and drinking. :D An exemplary PTer! I felt as if I was right there with you!

[Randi]

Looks like a great trip you had to Munich. :) I'm so envious you got to meet Barbara. She really showed you a lot of places - I recognise some of them. ;) Love the gate entrance and the church ceiling, in fact, I love most of all these old buildings.

Thanks for sharing the pictures, you got some really good ones!

[jackie]

Wow, all of your holiday photos are making me jealous! I love German food, and the beer... and the chocolate!

That bike does look pretty cool, I might just try and make a mini one!

[lv4dogs]

Wonderful pics! The last few made me awful hungry! lol

I'm glad you enjoyed yourselves. By the looks of it it would be hard not to. lol

[Sonia59]

Wow, thanks for the many pics! I always love seeing pics from visits between PT'ers! It seems you had great time :) :) I'm jealous!

[Anita Cholaine]

Awesome pics!! I'd like to have one of those pretzels now!!

I love the lions... Where those from an exposition where local artists decorate as they want the figures?? We are having something like that in Buenos Aires now; we had horses first, and now we have cows...

[finn's mom]

Those pictures bring back so many memories for me...I love Munich, and, am hoping to get back there one day. I went to school for two years there right before the American housing and school closed down to us. It was a great experience and those pictures show that your time there was awesome, too!

[Ginger's Mom]

Great Pictures of Munich!!! You shared so many things that I would like to see and do if I ever got a chance to go there. It almost made me feel like I was there, but I would have gone when there was no snow. ;) It looks like you had a good time, and how wonderful that you were able to meet with Barbara and that you had someone like her to show you around.

[ramanth]

Great photos and how lucky of you to meet Barbara! :D I'm so hungry now.... ;) :D

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

How cool! Gee Barbara, you've had full house lately with all the visitors! Just wish I was one of them. ;) :D

[JenBKR]

Whew I sure am hungry now! :D Looks like you had a fantastic time - I really like the picture of that bike.

It was -12 Celsius the first day we were there.
The rest of the time it was actually really nice. Cold but confortable!

[bluekat]

Germany is so beautiful! I've always wanted to go there..
Looks like you had fun :D
