Guess what street I was looking for when I came across this sign? If you have ever seen a map of Munich, there is not one straight street and each street changes names frequently with no rhyme or reason. So if you are looking for some place- you just kind of walk in that general direction and hope for the best. On the flip side, that also makes for some interesting walks.
Today was a day for museums but also the day I met up with my much missed adopted daughter for dinner, Corrinneeyy. Yes, that really is her name. Corrinneeyy moved here to Munich from the U.S., so I don’t get to see her much. Tonight was a real treat to get together with her, relax and enjoy a meal, conversation, laughs and catch up. Plus it was Corrinneeyy’s birthday!! What fun!!
Happy Birthday Again Corrinneeyy!
As for the museums, I went through the New Art Museum ( Neue Pinakothek ) and thoroughly enjoyed it and brought a beautiful silk scarf from the gift shop afterwards. Then I went through the Deutsch Museum and enjoyed the collection of sail boats, ship models and airplanes. I also walked through what seemed to be miles of mines that replicated how the mining industry was set up and operated. It was too realistic for my taste and I decided I could never be a miner. It’s closed in and dark. No brainer there. Now just walk even this fake one and see how you start to feel uncomfortable, irritable, mine cave- ins come to mind, so does prayer and you keep hoping every next turn will be the end of it. Interesting? Maybe. But not what I would call fun. Once I found My way out of the mines, I got the heck out of the whole museum. Enough culture for the day.
