California Dreamin'

Caitlin and I took Kathy, Megan, and Sarah to the Flughafen early in the morning of 30.Dez to catch their 09.30 flight back to the US. It takes about 1 hour to get from Pullach to the airport by S-bahn, and because it was an international flight they had to be there early. In addition, it was cold and snowy, so the plane had to get in line for de-icing, which also takes time.

So we left Pullach at about 06.00, and Caitlin and I decided to have breakfast at the airport. We found a place that served bagels and coffee - one of the first that I had found in Munich (I have since found more), but the entire theme was California surfing. So much so that even one of the tables was inside an old VW van!

After the airport, we decided to stay in town and do some museum hopping. Specifically, we went to the Munich Residenz, the city palace of the Bavarian royalty. More about that in a future post (although the number of "future posts" that I'm promising seems to be increasing more rapidly than I can write posts, so perhaps it will never happen.)
