Munchen Airport Update
Suitcase full of fresh German brot for meine Frau.
Also able to find scharfer Senf.
Even found a couple more Starbucks mugs. The good kind, not the boring new kind. Not many of the good kind left any more.
Ready to come home.
'Nuff said.

Munchen Airport
It's the perfect car for commuting. 440hp. Top speed 174mph. $70,000. What a deal.
I may have spent a little time driving over 100mph in the last, oh, seven days or so. So I'm ready. Maybe.
All I want for my birthday is a new BMW M4 Coupe.
All I want forever is a new BMW M4 Coupe.

Last Night in Charming Amberg
There are the sights (pictures below).
There are the friendly people, like the lady who actually initiated a conversation with me while I ate dinner in the platz--she used to live in Maine and wanted to speak English with someone. Friendly Germans! Who knew? Nothing like Stuttgart, that's for sure.
There are the t-shirts: "West Point at Harlem", "Lubrication Vintage Gas Station USA", etc. (The t-shirt nonsense almost rivals Japan, it would seem.)
There is the bucolic Bavarian scenery and the California weather.
There is the massive, beautiful Catholic Seminary that dominates the city on the opposite end of the train station (and Altstadt). I am told "Pax Intrantibus" (the inscription over the main entry) means Peace to All Who Enter Here. It's a fitting saying for a Franciscan seminary.
And as if all this weren't enough, there was a dog obedience demonstration in the platz! A dog show! Downtown. For free. Oh, life is so gute.
But this is may last night and I must say Goodbye.
