Germany and Austria Holiday, Part 1: Munich







We recently returned from a week-long trip to Germany and Austria. We took 474 pictures altogether, but we promise to show only some highlights! The weather was warm and very sunny (a nice change from Ireland!).

May 6-8 were spent in Munich, enjoying the sites of Altstadt (Old Town) including the Neues Rathaus (New Town Hall, picture 1) and its Glockenspiel (picture 2; think of this as a massive, animated cuckoo clock). Another highlight of Munich was the gorgeous church named Frauenkirche, or the Cathedral of Our Lady (picture 3, taken from near the top of Neues Rathaus). For John, Munich was a city to enjoy Bavarian lagers in the outdoor beer gardens, as well as a pretzel or two!
