Munich, All Saint's Day [day 18]

November 1

[jim] we have a nice room here... we used the tourist office's room finding service, and we ended up with an excellent deal. and, the breakfast is great. they have cottage cheese. we decided to stay an extra day in munich because it's nice and we have CNN. We made the plan today, and we will train to Prague early on the third, so that we can walk election results on Tuesday night (we are six hours ahead) and then be on the train while America sleeps, and get to Prague around 2:30pm as America wakes. Then, the next step will be to find a hotel with CNN in English.

But, anyway, we figured all this out in front of the Neue Pinakothek.
Click on this link and then click Rundgang on the right and then click on any room to see what they have. Neue Pinakothek. Check it out.

Outside the museum, in a park near the Greek columned building museum, there was a chess board made from pavers, about 10" square. Next to the chess board, there was a bench, where the top hinged open and inside where very large wooden chess pieces. People pay big tax here.

I had a great dinner tonight:
Bayrisches Tellerfleisch - mit Gemusestreifen, frisch geriebonem Kren, Rahmwirsing und Salzkartofflen.

prime boiled beef with potatoes and horseradish with crazy cabbage on the side.
