    Take a stroll down the Marienplatz.

    As much of a tourist trap as it seems, we enjoyed watching the clock tower when it struck the hour. I'm not sure I can explain it, but this is a 10-minute event. The clock chimes a song while life-sized figures spin around in the center of the tower. I've heard that someone had the opportunity to actually ride on one of the mechanical horses, just like a merry-go-round, but that could have been a rumor.

    To be honest, I don't even know the name of this building. I want to say it was the Glockenschpiel -- I know that must be misspelled (someone please tell me the real spelling). But I can't be sure what it was called. I just know it was a great site to see. The picture is of the back of the tower.

    Ice cream
    by llcole
    My friend and I were watching a group of older gentlemen eating ice cream cones. She was fascinated (for some reason), and was positive that the man with his back to the wall would finish his last. She was right, as it turned out. Anyway, I thought I'd indulge her by recording the memory in a photo.

    I enjoyed listening to the Khukh Mongol Musicians - it does seem that there are so many interesting street musicians of all styles performing.

    Marienplatz: Back on 'almost' dry land with two feet again.

    The pedestrian Marienplatz.
    Ever within sight of the onion-domed Frauenkirche, hosts treasures and entertainments in plentiful variety. Here, one of the many streets that extend out from and encircle the distant kirche offers the 'lost' traveller a compass when realizing, 'oh, those weren't policemen, and that's not even a police mini.'

    German-engineered...everything.
