Lagging Behind

"All experience is an arch to build upon."
 ~Henry Brooks Adam
"I'm coming, I'm coming," I would frequently call out as the Gardener and 
the others we were with would look back to find me. I do lag behind when we 
are touring somewhere because little scenes, potential photos, call out to me, 
compelling me to stop and quickly grab a photo. 
I can't help myself.
I am drawn to arches, windows, flowers, bicycles … and more!
These posted here were all in the center of Munich, on a rainy day. 
Buildings soold they could tell many stories. And all filled with arches.
The Gardener recognized this immediately as where Hitler 
gave a speech or two or three in the city square.

And, a coffee house, Cafe Tambosi, where Mozart hung out.
That was awhile ago! It's Munich's oldest coffee house.

  4. So much to see! Interesting about the arches. I wonder what was the influencing culture on the architects?

    Thanks for sharing.

  6. And do the grandgirlies have anything from Christine Leder Mode für Kinder? With my short legs, I'd have been on a full gallop. Getting caught up on your rest? I hope so!

  10. I work for an elderly man and his 18 year old granddaughter is here from Munich Germany
    she had been to Miami Beach Florida for 2 weeks to work for an internship
    She told me the shopping in Munich is great and the public transportation is great also compared to the mid west

  16. Ah Mozart, one of my very favorite composers! Did you have coffee there? Munich seems to have a bit of a middle eastern flair to its architecture, which I didn't expect at all -- very interesting. I would love to go to Germany, especially the Bavarian region. It looks like you really had an interesting trip, Dotsie!

    Hugs,

    Denise
