The first photo is the clock tower at the Munich Rathaus and the photo on the right is one of the local beer drinkers in the Hofbrahaus.

Munich today. We drove to a nearby town to catch the train into the city. We experienced our first pay toilet in the train station, and learned that many public bathrooms charge a fee. Many people, lots of expensive shops, and a wonderful rathaus clock tower. We climbed another church tower and oh what a view. We ate at a sidewalk cafe and I soaked in the atmosphere. We found some gift shops for the needed t-shirt purchases, and I found my traditional deck of cards. Thus far, we have a deck from Glacier, Alaska, Chicago, and now Germany. It's a fun way to remember our trips and when we pull out a deck for a hand of Rummy or Whist, we end up reminiscing about our travels. We had to visit the Hofbrahaus, a famous beer garden and restaurant. Frequent visitors have their own booth complete with a personalized sign and a tiny locker for their beer steins. Several groups of Germans dressed in the traditional clothing, creating a festive mood. That night Claudia made a Swabian dish, maultaschen, a bit like cheese filled ravioli. Delicious and such good company with Claudia, Sepp, and Adrian.
