MUENCHEN

Fall is a beautiful time in Germany. It is getting colder and seems to rain just about every day for at least part of the day.

Visited the BMW plant in Munich this weekend. Their corporate headquarters is the "4-cylinder" building. Friday evening we visited Marienplatz and the Hofbrau Haus and had a Bavarian dinner in town.  Saturday we visited the Deutsches Museum which is Germany's Smithsonian with 10 miles of museum on the history of everything.  Elaine's camera died so we spare you pictures of ancient sailing ships, early flight machines and demonstrations of paper making, etc., etc.  We could have spent a month inside and were overwhelmed with the cleverness of mankind.

This is the artsy inverted cone part of the BMW World showroom featured in advertising.










Pretty

Somehow after seeing all the super fancy fire-breathing monsters featured in the showroom, a white station wagon seemed like a more reasonable German souvenir.

 Did we tell you how happy we were that our apartment halls were painted - used to be the brown cave.








 
 Our apartment building parking lot - full of mission  and area cars.  Everyone else parks out on the street to save on parking fees and fill Germany's roads with cars parked everywhere.

We discovered a fresh squeezed apple juice only available for a few weeks in the fall.  It is like drinking an apple :)



Flowers in October
