Thin Places, Thick Places (Series)
Day 30
The land of auto perfection
Munich. We arrived via 6.5 hour train today into beautiful Munich. We rented a car and zipped along between Munich and our new airbnb located about 30 minutes outside of Munich.
Two thoughts. 1. I don't mind driving in a big German city. Wasn't sure how it would go, but driving an Audi V6 is the bomb (even if it is a wagon) and the teenie narrow roads make it all that much more exciting. 2. The overwhelming distraction of the hundreds of amazing cars that surrounded us made driving through Munich difficult.
Porsches (SO MANY OF THEM), BMWs, Mercedes, Land Rovers (we saw a CONVERTIBLE LAND ROVER!!!!), Volvos, Audis, OH MY...oh, and a Ferrari DEALERSHIP.
Gorgeous, well-maintained, shiny, sparkly German-made and other drooly yummy automobiles. I'm normally not a "car fan". However, ALL the cars I love are ALL HERE in one convenient location. Sigh.
All the kids are together now. Jonah had a WONDERFUL time with his group. He even has a rash from all the sugar he ate.
I'm realizing that THREE kids is MUCH MUCH more than TWO, when traveling. Wow. Agent Shades even hit the hay earlier than usual. I think we're giving him a run for his money. That doesn't really make sense in this particular context, but let's just say that the two adults in this situation are beat. Holy smokes.
For dinner we found an ITALIAN eatery in which the waiters spoke Italian. It was a profound relief. Not that I speak Italian, but we were able to communicate through some odd stewish mix of English, German, Italian, and Spanish. Having to speak ONLY German is difficult for non-German speakers. We are, however, getting very proficient at German formalities.
