Bavarian reunion

Alex Paya with StringGirl at Marienplatz

Keeping with the trend of meeting relatives from far off. StringGirl met up with her cousin Alex while visiting Munchen. Only a short train trip from Pfaffenhofen we met up for a nice stroll through Munich. First stop was the VERY touristic Marienplatz. Where the Rathouse is adorned with a large mechanized clockworks that puts on a show for the masses of tourists who stare upward at as the clock tolls the hour.

Alex with Jens Buchert (not the pop star) and StringGirl

Jens (a colleague from Tebicon) met us and brought us to a Biergarden, where we sampled the local fare. Then gave a short tour of this area of Munich. The river, Mozartplatz, Gothestrasse, and then onto the site of the World Famous Oktoberfest.

The Site of Oktoberfest Thereisenplatz

The site where the famous Oktoberfest occurs each year, is a huge open area in the midst of the town. Easily large enough to hold several large professional sports stadiums, more than 100,000 people with come here each day in late September to enjoy; and overindulge in local brewed bier.

Thanks Jens and Alex for the great afternoon in Bayern.
