More wandering around Munich today. We started with a stroll through Englisher Garten, which is close to Unterforing where we are staying. The morning weather was fantastic as we walked along secluded paths. We madebour way to a lake and sat for awhile drinking coffee and watching a white swan try to drown a baby goose (the goose survived).

All morning long, Gary and Susan were in contact with Julia, a young woman they know from Canada. Julia lives in Munich. In fact, I would out she was born just a few blocks away from the house where my mother was born.

We met Julia in Schwabing, a very cool area in Munich. I would a place where she might know – a huge statue called “Walking Man”.

Julia became our tour guide for the rest of the day. She took us into the Karlsplatz area of Munich, where we found a small cafe with an interesting statue as a cool fountain.

We eventually made it to the Augustiner Biergarten (the only one we visited yesterday).

Today we plan on visiting Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial and the Nymphenburg Castle.
