I have amazing directional sense....

Grüss Euch!!!!

Yesterday morning Ingo drove me to downtown Augsburg so I could catch a train to Munich. I of course headed to the bakery first. I consider my hot chocolate and baguette fix to be very important. After arriving on platform 4, there was an announcement saying that the train would be delayed. Surprise, surprise. I didn`t exactly mind it... I must have been on an express train because I arrived in Munich in about 30 minutes. If only that had been the end of my dealing with public transportation for the day...

I was told by Lotte to take the U-bahn to get to her place. All I had to do was go in a specific direction and get off after 2 stops. Of course, I took the train going in the opposite direction and it ended up taking me about 30 minutes before I eventually got to where I was supposed to be. Angi and Lotte were there to greet me, laughing. Funny guys. We ate lunch in Lotte`s WG, and it was truly Bavarian-those large prezels and weisswurst. Yummy! I did add an American twist to it though-ketchup! Don`t kill me...I am somewhat American!

After that we did a bit of walking around downtown Munich. I didn`t buy anything-wasn`t hard, I don`t have much money anyway. Having gotten the shopping bug out of ourselves, we headed to Starbucks. I have never seen a Starbucks so busy! Ok, it was a beautiful day in one of the most touristic cities in the world, but still... I got my usual double chocolate chip frap, but it was pretty damn expensive and in Euros to boot. We felt pretty sophisticated sitting outside, sipping our ridiculously expensive drinks.

We walked around a bit more, then through the English Gardens, and then found ourselves back at Lotte`s place. We had a movie night in her WG. They just got a new TV there, a huge flatscreen, and we wanted to enjoy it. We ended up renting the Departed, and I have to say that is one of the worst movies I`ve ever seen. But add a glass of wine and chocolate to that, and you see everything in a different light. I enjoyed the movie nigh despite the film.

Now I am sitting in Lotte`s room, trying to figure out what I will do with my day. I hope I don`t get lost on the trains today, cross your fingers for me!!!

Bye, Molly
