Sorry to take so long to write. I’ve tried to be more diligent with the studying and seeing the city. The image of me tied to the computer was becoming more of a reality. Also I need to adjust my schedule now that I am becoming more familiar with my surroundings. When I first got here, everything was a blur. I saw colors and blobs of people. This past month I thought there was only a post-office 30 minutes from here by foot. There are actually two directly off the street that I buy groceries from. So I guess that excuse is kaputt. Now I have to venture in side with letters a wad of Bargeld and find out how the system works.
So the last few weeks were pretty sour in terms of weather. Now comes the sweet! Great weather you could dream about for a vacation. I think its because of the newly arrived girls in class from southern Italy. J/K I finally wore a skirt today (or ‘der Rock’ auf Deutsch) and the temperature is 30 grad.
Recently, Alex and I were comparing our skin color…we almost matched Yikees! I had to bank on some sun before the Fall and soon. SO Yesterday I rode my bicycle to the Englisch Garten and got a little lost on my way. There are maps everywhere so I found a cozy spot in the lawn were just around the corner over a small bridge I could hear an accordian and violin play love songs. (Remember “Lady and the Tramp”). 
The men played over the 3 hours while I sun bathed and studied to very nice background music. Musicians are playing everywhere in Munich and most I would consider professional. (this beats the Salvation bellringers any day of the year) Street entertainers have to register and/or audition with the government and pay some kind of commission from the revenue they generate. I think that is a much better alternative than what other goverments do in the U.S. to promote/discourage the arts.
The bike ride round trip was about 10K and now my ass is sore. How you die-hard bicyclist ride for any given length is a mystery to me. I am just glad I saved some time and could travel some alternative routes to see the city better.
I found a few restaurants to check out. I hope I remember where they are located; one street changes names at every intersection. Ach so! I liebe es, du auch….Bilder!!!
