i hope blogging from a land line works, green pants says she has had problems with it. glad to see there are so many shout outs (ok, more than the one a week i usually get, and they aren't all just from b.p.) they make me happy. so, here's the low-down...
the train trip back from venice was arduous. i am also a bad speller. there were rowdy, drunken americans (those darn americans) in the compartment next to us, and the man above me snored the whole night. so it took a nice nap on tuesday to get al and i back into shape. then tuesday she showed me munich, and it started to rain. but there was thunder and lightening which makes it all ok. today we walked all over munich, climed the tower at st. peters church (i think) and got to see the view. anyone who knows me knows i like views, so i was happy. then more walking and we saw the river and the english garden and sausage and the biggest daffodils i have ever seen, and lots of grass and trees. these were a happy site after venice, which had no grass or trees in the main area, and a few in the public park. tomorrow we go hiking in the alps, which i am extremely excited about. yay. and friday to dachau, which will undoubtedly be a moving experience. we ate and drank lots of chocolate tonight, so we might be up for a while, but other than that...life is good!
