I spent the morning studying, so after lunch I wandered over here to the Institute to get some computer time.
Thanks to those who post comments ... except that I'm not always sure who is posting. I can't always tell by screen names who is who, and I haven't figured out how to reply to a comment directly ... mostly because all the cues and prompts are in German, even for my obviously English-based blog. Also, I've decided not to do "Shout outs" ... too easy to get into a "Hmpf, he mentioned THEM but didn't say anything about ME..." So ain't gonna go there. Except to say hello to Mom and Dad and Kathy and Butch and Memo and Esther and ... no ... I better stop ... that's starting to sound like the ending to Romper Room (which I was on some 40 years ago, but I digress).
I've actually had a few "Aha!" moments as some things start to come together. I ventured to ask one of the monks a question (auf Deutsch) last night after Compline, only to find myself awash in a fast-paced response. I got most of it ... I think.
According to my tourbook, museums are free on Sunday, so I think that may be tomorrow's agenda. Several of the museums are literally out the back door of the Monastery. One of the sculpture museums actually adjoins the back of the Monastery ...King Ludwig's plan, relflecting the connection between religion and culture.
The sun has poked through the clouds, so I'm going to poke about the city a bit before heading home for Vespers.

Hey Julian! Everything sounds fun. Not much new here. HOT and HUMID! So, I'm miserable. Anna says HI.

Charlotte would love the museums. Please let us know what you see tomorrow when you're out and about. Today we're celebrating Sarah Kate's 21st birthday. She's already planning her visits to the bars on Bardstown Road.
Oh, to visit Munich's museums... lucky for you.
F. Mary and I got to see the CSI exhibit in Chicago, but it's not quite the same as visiting the Ludwig museum.
Mit herzlichen Gruss,
Thomas

Glad to know you're gastronomically adventurous .... and that you ate the liver even after you knew what it was. I remember being surprised with beef tongue for lunch in Moscow. I would have probably enjoyed a few bites more of it had I not known what it was. In new cultues, sometimes it's better not to ask until after the meal is done! :-)
