July 4 – Day 6
Happy Birthday America!! We celebrated the national holiday today by walking for what felt like miles all over Munich to shop for Tracht… we were in the shopping area around the Marien Platz, which is the famous square in Munich. There is a beautiful old clock tower that resembles a cuckoo clock – the life size characters come alive and dance on the hour. Isabel and I trailed behind Daddy the majority of the day, as he walks much faster than us. Isabel was an absolute angel until we tried to attend Mass at St. Michael the Archangel (down the street from the Dom Frauenkirche (which is the Cathedral of Our Lady). Her version of singing resonated quite nicely in the glorious sanctuary, and as such… I had to take her outside. I spent the next hour praying that Mass would be over soon. Isabel spent the next hour trying her hardest to get into the fountain. We attempted to eat some himbeere (raspberries), but Isabel practically threw them into the fountain, too.
The day was long but successful….. we found a few Dirndl that we purchased for Mom, Isabel and Dorothy. Isabel’s, of course, is super cute!!! Holly, if you are reading this…. Bela snagged some “buttons” for your mom’s gift…. We ended the day in the true German Fashion – drinking beer at a Biergarten near our Pension.
