A few weeks ago I took a good girlfriend out to celebrate her birthday. I asked what kind of food she wanted (Asian) and then she told me to pick a place. I have a list of places I want to try, but most of them are kind of imbiss-y. I also didn’t want to…
Read MorePretty Viktualienmarkt Pics
Last week I went on kind of a rant, so I thought I’d share some pretty pictures with you today. I got a new camera. It’s one of those jobs that you can click on to your iphone and control with an app. I’m not much of a natural photographer, but I’m pretty pleased with…

Read MoreKafehaus Karameel
I don’t get out to Neuhausen very much, but when I do I’m always glad. I met a friend today for a long (cold) walk on the Nymphenburger Schloss grounds. To warm up our cold bones we headed over to a cute café called Kafehaus Karameel. It’s full of yummy looking cakes, a marble bar…
