We have arrived

After 2.5 month it is about time to start the promised blog. So here we go:
Today, we had a fantastic day at the "Englische Garten" with a picnic, lots of sunshine, reading, playing and exploring. We watched people surfing (in the middle of Munich) and swimming in the "Eisbach" = icecreek, the ones not wearing a wetsuit shouting: "Es ist soo kalt". Probably understandable without any knowledge of the German language.

I will try, and fill you in how the first 2 months went later, I just wanted to get started finally.

At this place I would like to thank Shera and Nathan for their very inspiring blog about their experiences in Munich this past year. They will be leaving to fly back home to Santa Cruz tomorrow. We will miss them.

Here are some pictures of today:

Father and daughter (One reading "Economist", the other "Twilight")


Linus is in heaven



We dipped our toes in, it really is icy cold


Enjoying a short ride....

....after waiting in line....

...and getting here by bike.
Feels slightly like Santa Cruz.
