Greetings from Munich. Or Freising, which is where the lovely hotel I got on Priceline is located. (let me just say that the money saved was well worth the commute into the city!

The quality of this photo is amazing considering it was taken on a phone, the subjects are another matter!







I think the salesgirl thought we were nuts when we asked her to snap it, but I knew you'd like to see that I really was in Munich, and that the mmeanderer was alive and well! (of course you'd know that if you read her blog!)

Today a castle. Yesterday lots of walking. Tomorrow, the plane. Wednesday: Memphis! And you'll probably see photos from the Mouse there!

PS: dig my new glasses!

closer...closer...we are closer to the mammoth new zealand report. I have gone through the 1000-plus photos, and boiled them down to a mere 150.....which will be broken down into "trips." Of course, those who want to see more of my brilliant work will be able to do so.

Next: your day by day report. or town by town. Coming soon. Perhaps some will be completed on my flight to munich this weekend. Where I'll see the meandering one!

let's see....where was NM flying on the 21st?

"On January 21, a Transportation Security Officer got quite a surprise as he viewed a passenger's bag in the X-ray machine and saw what appeared to be a live animal. When asked about it, the passenger replied, "Yes, I am transporting a monkey!""

( though it pains me to call attention to them, go herefor the, um, rest of the story.)
