My husband is a planner. Not just an ordinary planner but a 2 year-in-advance schedule'er. I love that about him. He has already planned a boat trip he calls "The Great Loop" we plan to take when we are sixty-five. We have a calendar for the year of the places we want to see and when we plan to see them. We scratched off Munich and Prague before our third month here.
Munich is the Bavarian capital and was much more cosmopolitan than I expected it to be. Maximilianstrasse made me salivate. Very high end luxury and great window shopping.
The history of Munich is also astounding and at times chilling. Munich is where Hitler and the Nazi's got their start. You see in person the places that you have seen in photographs of Hitler and his army. You realize just how recent in our history the atrocities of WWII occurred.
We are partial to self-guided walking tours and the one we took in Munich did not disappoint. The Frauenkirche and the English Gardens were two highlights. Surprise...we spent one evening at the famous Hofbrauhaus.
