The Dancing Angel

July 3 – Day 5

We were sad today leaving the Landhaus Anetsberger to travel to Munich, as we made some nice friends of Holly’s family. Holly left to go back to Chicago today and we said our goodbye’s and drove to our next location….. the Pension Mayr in Obermenzing in Munich. We were looking forward to going to see our friends, Hans, Ingrid, Vroni, and Hansi at the Mahltszeit (eating time) with Hans’ Verein at Vereinsheim (Club Home). We took back roads to Munich, as today was the first day of the summer break for the school children, and traffic was expected on the autobahn. The drive was a nice way to see the country side and it took us about 2.5hours to arrive there.

We found the Pension Mayr with no difficulty. This beautiful little guest house was selected for us by Hans. We had our own private room in the back (kind of like in a carriage house) as I think we might have been the only guests. Some of our soon to be friends from Hans’ Verein brought us a crib for Isabel….. (these Germans are the nicest people). The room had a shower, but the bathroom was a shared bath in the hall. As I said, there weren’t any other guests to share the WC (water closet) with, but still… it was kind of like being back in the dorm at college. No air conditioning in this place so it was a little warm.

We had a lovely dinner before going to the Vereinsheim to meet up with the Menzinger’s. Isabel made many new friends while we were there. She also dazzled her audience with her dancing skills….. for those of you who have never witnessed my daughter dancing, she is quite talented….. After a few hours of dancing and entertainment, we went back to the Pension to get some much needed rest. Guten Nacht!!
