Schnee in Pullach!!

Finally, the day after Christmas, it snowed in München. There was about 4 cm on the ground when we awoke. In fact, a friend who is up in Hochfügen (see this post), a popular skiing destination, said that 20 cm fell there. This is very late, as often the first snow is in October, and there is usually snow on the ground by the first of December. In any case, the skiers are loving it, because the local Alps now have snow for some downhilling.

So, we decided to head to Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau for the day (along with all the other hordes of tourists - we heard lots of languages, Japanese, Italian, Russian...), and this was our walk to the S-bahn. Of course, the Reynolds girls are walking in the middle of the street. But it's only suburban Pullach (technically really Großhesselohe).

And here is the small Platz at the S-bahn station. There's a restaurant and a cafe, and a Kinderplatz (children's playground) and some other things (like a fruit stand) that are only open in the summer. But a gorgeous scene. Certainly not Florida!

Frohe Weihnachten und schöne neue Jahr!
