Christmas Holiday in Munich - December 22nd through 31st

When I arrived, there was still some snow left. So, the very next day we went on a short walk along old paths. As expected, there were quite a few changes...




Christmas presents handed out, mass sung (quite successful this time... oh, and there was a butterfly attending too)... more walks on the next day, this time to the Allianz arena and our little old church.

















Normally, our family comes over on the Stephen's Day, but this time it was on Sunday after mass and having sung at church. Food was wonderful, as always, but it took them quite a while to go... Family can be taunting.



On Monday, when everybody else ran into town after 4 days of celebrating, eating and being forced to walk instead of going shopping, Munich went shopping, and some, as we did, went to the museum to view the Mucha exhibition which was really wonderful. Afterwards, we passed the space where once the Süddeutsche Zeitung's building had been. The rest of the day I spent meeting friends and catching up...





















The next day I spent with more catching up and... and hunting books with one bookshop gone and two others with not the books I was looking for. And I also walked by an underground station which had changed a lot: Münchener Freiheit. I do like the style above ground...
