Now, where was I ...

Oh yeah ... the cemetery. It was really cool ... literally ... with all the shade. Most monuments I stopped to read were from the early to mid 1800's ... no telling how old the momuments are that had the inscriptions worn away by weather.

I didn't realize the computer lab closed up at 4:00 on Saturday until the desk attendant came in and very abruptly announced it was closing time. Besides, all the signage reads 1600, which, to part of my brain at least, suggests something much later.

Yesterday I spent part of the afternoon exploring an historic area of the city. I had no more gotten back to the Monastery and Father Ephrem stopped by, so we went back out and walked all the way to the English Garden. That name is somewhat misleading ... it's more like NYC's Central Park, only here in Munich and over on the upper east side of the city. Thousands of people flock there on the weekends, especially, and are splayed out all over the lawns sunning, playing, sleeping. There's a fast moving stream that flows through the park, so people are in the water, too... and there's a section where kids actually surf the current. I came away with a sun-burnt nose.

And contrary to what some people think, I AM doing more than eating and drinking my way around Munich. I just write about the food and drink because that's one of my main interests ... I don't think most people would be interested in hearing about past participles of irregular verbs.

Given that today is the Solemnity of Our Lady of Einsiedeln at home, and being that it's beautifully sunny and warm here, ice cream seems to be in order...
