This picture was taken in Munich specifically so I could send it to my dad for Father's Day with a copy of the movie Big Fish. WE only had a few hours in Munich and did not get to the original Hofbrau House, but we did happen upon a church that had a choir inside the locked doors and a courtyard filled with huge, rough-hewn medieval blocks. We sat in the dark and listened to the voices soar through the streets as the choir practiced for Easter.
On the list of Great Stuff, we went to two Ostern Markets. Easter markets are filled with rabbits and eggs of all sorts. Our question when buying was, "Will the kids fight over this someday?" When we found this lady with her gorgeous painted eggs, there was no question. We bought one with the main square cathedral painted on it.
She had many designs...
...including a reproduction of The Last Supper (which was too rich for our blood)
Oh, the main square catherdral which is on our egg and the market is in front of.
Here is a pic of the mechanical clock at the catherdral-- seven little kings click by a big king paying a noisy, cool and somewhat strange homage to him, the king of kings (but not Jesus--just the head king of the kings at the time of the clock's construction).
And here is a gold thing that is important and decorative (dontcha love my knowledge base?) and a freshly wed couple hugging some street musicians that led them around and danced with them in the square. Bride's in the peach dress.
