Füssen – castle entrance town

This little town is the cute entry to the two amazing castles up above, one of which is the famous fairytale castle built by Ludwig II. We had to try the sauerbraten. It wasn’t as good as my mothers but as you can see, it was good enough.

In order to get completely stuffed, we had pizza after sauerbraten.

We found a place that served somewhat delicious Thai food.
Classic motorcycle bikers in town for fun

Erfurt – near Munich

It’s alive

We stayed here to launch into Munich for a few days. It’s a cheaper place to stay. And it is cute little old town.

Every town needs an obelisk
Enter only with a ticket. But no one is checking

Munich

as far as I am concerned the Hofbrauhaus is the most famous Bier hall in the world. I’ve known about this place for 62 years. It seems to be doing very well and it was great visiting and trying the beer and some snack. This beer hall is well known to everyone who ate at Schroeder’s Café in San Francisco which is still there on Front Street.

This visitor found the beer hall to be hot enough to use her fan, not the western style fan.
This lady was selling pretzels in the beer hall
This meal was had at a Google maps recommended restaurant in Munich. The food was very nice. Pigs knuckle along with Bavarian white sausage
Many hotels don’t have a kettle to boil water in the morning for coffee so I bought an inexpensive one to carry along since I can’t survive in the morning without a cup of coffee
Frauenkirche
dragons live!
The glockenspiel. We used to say this word often when I was young and we never knew what it was. Now I know.
A memorial to the Jews who were massacred throughout Europe in the 1930s and 40s
Below you will see what I’m holding up
Marx and Engels. I could write many pages about these guys I studied at Cornell but not here.
Of course the famous Brandenburg gate
The Munich train station
A little history concerning the separation of Berlin
Tear down that wall
Checkpoint Charlie
I surrendered here
I bought their beer mug when I was eight years old at Schroeder’s Café in the city
