Glockenspiel am Munchner Rathaus


Glockenspiel in the tower of the New Town Hall. We were there at noon to watch the figures dance.

The Christkindlmarkt is one of the most popular events. I enjoyed shopping at the Christmas markets.  Bought some Glühwein and it was snowing and it helped warm us up.  That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

This is where I purchased my nativity set :-)




Sampled some cheese at this shop and bought a cheese slicer.

Check out this store that sells only wieners

Our meeting place was Fish Fountain, since Audy and Greg's last name is fish it was a must to get their pictures by the Fish Fountain.
