Mucus in Munich
Our Munich hotel was in the darling neighborhood that borders the park where the world-famous “Oktoberfest” takes place. While we were there, we had a fest of a different sort – a “still sick-fest.” We were able to get Karla out and about for about two hours every day. Otherwise, life for Karla under the fluffy down comforters was just fine. Travis worked, read, and planned our return trip to Munich in the spring. Oh – and he watched Harry Potter and the Super Bowl – both auf Deutsch. 
We made it to the Rathaus in time for the noon Glockenspiel concert - then we returned to our hotel to recover from all the excitement.
The Glockenspiel was constructed in 1908 as part of the second construction phase of the new town hall. The 43 bells and 32 life-size figures re-enact a wedding, a jousting match, and the "barrel dance" which commemorates the celebration marking the end of a 16th century plague.
Hmmm. Looks serious. I don't think it is the plague, but you should nonetheless head straight back to bed!
Measuring our hotel bathroom - from end to end it was exactly one stretched-out Travis long.
The most popular topic of conversation among pension guests (of at least at four nationalities) at breakfast the following morning following the Super Bowl was the big game! Seems everyone in the hotel but Karla was glued to the TV.
The view from the end of our block - the Theresia Meadow where there is plenty of room for beer tents in September and October.
These fizzy tablets were a Godsend. Right on the box it says "clears slime from airways."
Karla rests before and after the "clearing of the airways."
