We Found Narnia!!!

The past three days have been spent with my lovely friend Lisa who currently lives in London.
On Friday I took a 6 hour train ride from Prague to Munich.  It was great until some lady came in the car with her dog and let him roam around freely, getting all sorts of dog hair all over me...
Anyway, arrived in Munich and headed to meet Lisa and the pension we're staying at.  It's a cute little place and each room has a bizarre assortment of furniture and decor.  Our breakfast gets delivered to our room each morning!!
Lisa and I walked around Munich and then went to see the glockenspiel in the square in Marienplatz.  Apparently the "big show" is during the day so not much happened when the clock struck 9pm...
Saturday we decided that we should probably have traditional Bavarian clothing, so we went to a tracht store (tracht is the word for the clothing) and we each left with a lovely new outfit.  Later we headed to Viktualienmarkt, which is a huge open air market in the center of Munich.  We grabbed truffle brie, manchengo, bread, grapes, chorizo and pata negra and sat and did some people watching.  For dinner we went to a restaurant in the neighborhood and the food was delicious!!
Sunday, slept in a bit and then decided today was the day to wear our tracht....
So, we put on our outfits and headed to a biergarten for lunch.  The outfits were quite comfortable.  During the previous days we had seen people out and about in tracht, today was not one of those days, but we clearly didn't care.  

On our way back from Narnia (we have no idea how they got this wardrobe into our room).
Then Lisa had to go back home:(  4 more days left for me in Germany!
