Getting My Bearings, Sort Of

Posted byBonnie 5 Comments on Getting My Bearings, Sort Of

Yesterday I purchased my first item that wasn’t for food, transportation, or museum entrance. It is related to transportation. It is a compass!

Peter suggested this when I was lamenting about having difficulty determining directions. I am directionally challenged to begin with and when the streets are not in grids it’s hopeless. This 3€ investment came in very handy today. I’d be lying if I said I walked the streets with total confidence, but I did feel lost less often.

Of course, things are starting to look familiar, and that helps too. Tomorrow it’s back to the countryside for a couple days, and then…. Stay tuned.

Shubert, Brahms, and even the Bach/Gounod Avé Maria. No CDs for sale, just lovely violin to a recorded piano accompaniment in the Hofgarten.
The Isartor–one of the gates that is still standing, left from the time when there was a wall surrounding the city. I happened upon a wonderful, quirky museum in the left pillar.
Did I mention the fountains?
And around every corner, another lovely church. Always open and always (so far) Catholic here in the south. My travels to Luther country are coming in a couple weeks.

  1. Day 10 already! Yikes.
    You have to really look for the “protestantische Kirche,” as I eventually found out during my short stay in Kochel am See so many decades (!) ago.
