After Mike got out of class today, we headed over to the Englischer Garden to have lunch. We had heard rumor of this park being frequented by naked sun bathers. When we poked through the park on the Sunday before there were no naked people, apparently we just were not in the correct part of the park. As Mike and I were walking up to a pretty waterfall… I caught view of a naked man. Not so bad from far away; you cannot see anything. But we did stop and watch the guy wander through that part of the park for a few minutes. I think I would begin to feel self-conscious as I walked next to clothed people with babies, but hey, that’s just me. I have no idea if there were more naked people, we didn’t explore.
After a beer in the beer garden in Hofgarten, we did explore more of the markets. All along Kaufingerstrasse in the pedestrian area, there are fruit and vegetable stands. Its great! I love getting all the fresh fruit. After wandering through those, we went over to the main open air food market, Virktualienmarkt. There are meat vendors (in buildings), fruit and vegetable vendors, people selling spices, crafts goods, flowers, souvenirs, etc. Its wonderful. Not only is the fresh food wonderful, but it also helps my German vocabulary. Before we came here I new very little… just what I remember from the 6 weeks I learned German in 8th grade. It was a while ago.

Hey sweetie, I am missing all the posts you put up when you were in Scotland. I am glad that everything is going grest and you are able to explore all the markets and the "naked parks"...things you will be able to tell your kids about. You will be glad to know that Grandpa and Grandma's house will pass your test..that it must "smell" like their house. They have worked very hard to have that happen for you. Missing you both more than words can say. Stay safe and have a wonderful adventure, see you very soon. Love, Aunt Sue
