Alitalia
Our Alitalia flight from Geneva to Rome was a little blustery.
-
Alitalia 2
Within a few minutes, it was a full blown storm!

Bookkeeping
Whitney does our bookkeeping in flight. Which means she records everything we spend in a little black moleskin book, so we can groan about how much the Euro kicked our butts later when we're in Argentina.
-
Munich Airport
Munich Airport was named Europe's Best Airport three years running. Even with all these flights, its extremely efficient.

Marienplatz
Marienplatz at night. The subway stop is right in front of the Rathaus building. It was awesome to come from underground, and see this amazing structure

Gothic Rathaus
The Rathaus (town hall) also houses the famous Glockenspiel (which chimes at the hour and displayes little characters re-enacting scenes from Bavarian history
-
Beer Hall
We arrived at the massive Hofbrauhaus. This shot only encompassed 1/8 of the hall. Huge ceilings and mural paitnings make the place bright and cheery.

Tough job
This busboy spent the entire night replenishing the supply of huge, heavy steins from the washer to the shelves

John and George
George was one of the German group we were with... he is an officer at a correctional facility. He and John enjoyed talking shop and showing off badges.

Marilyn
Marilyn, our waitress, isn't so traditional after-all....

Alone in the subway
Dancing in the subway. Yes, it was one of those kinds of nights

Direction giver
This guy gave us directions in the subway, so we took a picture with him. He even took off his hat for the shot

Gene Simmons
The Gene Simmons reality show airs here, apparently, which is frightening

At our homebase, the Nordfriedhof subway stop. Our hotel was a mere 80 meters away. Yay!
