Very near to our apartment is Munich’s Olympic Park. Olympic Park was the site of the 1972 Olympics. Before that it was apparently home to both a landfill and an airport. Currently it holds many concerts or other large events in the various buildings left from the Olympics. It is used […]

We went to the Munich Zoo a few weeks ago, and I’m just getting around to posting these pictures. We ate lunch in front of the Baboon feeding area (it was their feeding time too). The Baboons aren’t allowed in until all the food is set out for them. Once the gate […]
