Pascale shows a French tendency to be happy with a huge wine glass in her hand (Christian & I are just pretending of course)
Mari Trini & Edu also have a glass to celebrate their arrival at my place in Munich
I am amused by Mari Trini's story; Christian suffers somewhat from the language divide
Shopping: a universal language - even if it's for Bavarian national dress
Love the shoe, Pascale!
One of Munich's many fabulous churches - this one a converted townhouse that is a little Tardis of kitsch
They're not wrong when they say drinking is a key Bavarian activity...
...but so is eating ridiculously huge pieces of pig
Mari Trini and her two gorgeous sons Edu & Pepe
Pascale's umbrella positively glows in this "little shower"
Mari Trini picks her way through a flooded U-Bahn station
The glorious monastery at Andechs
What a tower!
What a sight for sore pilgrim eyes!
Rococo rocks
Edu is ready for some refreshment after all that churchwatching
And Pepe gets into the Bavarian pig-feasting way
See? Hardly a scrap of meat left on that carcass - well done!
Contentment
And we felt a bit better too, after a walk along the shore of lake Starnberg
Bavarian lions stare proudly out to sea (well, out to lake)
Christian shows my Spanish guests how to make bread dumplings
And boy were they tasty!
A farewell lunch near my office
