you think YOU had a bad flight?

This will have to be another quick, photo-less entry but I think tomorrow we should be back on the grid... The sleeper train was so cozy and so much fun that we didn't quite want to "miss" it and thus slept very little and are now dead to the world... But no matter how tired we are we keep trying to put it in perspective - we met up with cindy's mom, marianne, and steve and milton in munich today, after their fligt was delayed for 12 hours! They had the worst experience you can imagine, but they were all troppers and got up to greet us when we arrived at the hotel at 7 am. We spent the day exploring the christmas markets, which mom, you would love, very festive, seeing some famous churchesan and going to the Residentz museum (the main thong that had going for it was that it was inside, away from the cold, and did I mention it is COLD here??? And wet and rainy so no amount of layers is quite enough. Fortunately our room is warm :)

Went to a nice dinner at a touristy but great restaurant, before heading back here. They had the energyand inclination to go back out into the blustery air for dessert now - we did not. But then, they didn't do 4 days of museums in a row. Anyway all in all other than the cold I like munich, looking fwd to salzburg tomorrow!

I was wondering why I hadn't heard any of the rest of your party; I didn't know they were coming later. At least their flight took off! PDX right now is a residence hall for about 700 people stuck there; way more just have left or not bothered to go at all. 2/3 of all flights have been cancelled since Friday morning. Enjoy being away!
