Sunday we continued our trip and went to Munich to see our last school year student, Paul. The drive was nice except for the wind which about blew us off the road!
We stayed at his mom’s house and he cooked dinner for all of us. The wind continued all night and we woke to SNOW in the morning. AND MORE SNOW!!! (and Monday morning rush hour traffic)
We went to Paul’s for breakfast and they the weather started to clear so we walked to the Olympic Park, the BMW museum/showroom and back to his house.
The Olympia Park is located in northern Munich where the 1972 Summer Olympics were held. 
Yes, it was cold! 
We continued by car to Munich city center and went by Marinplatz, the central square in Old Town. The Glockenspiel is in the tower balcony of the Neues Rathaus (New Town Hall). It is a clocktower which has figurines representing stories of Munich’s history. They twirl and chime on two levels every day at 11am, 2pm and 5pm. We, unfortunately, didn’t see it this time we were here, but have on a previous trip.
We spent some time browsing in “Eataly” which is a HUGE store selling mostly items from Italy. They did have a section devoted to Nutella and you could get crepes made with Nutella. We opted for a photo instead. 
We stopped to see the Angel of Peace. The golden statue sits on top of a pillar temple on the Prince Regent Terrace. The complex is a memorial to the 25 year peace after the German-French War of 1870-71.
After a full day of sightseeing his mom was home from work and the four of us went out for dinner.
We are so blessed to have such great relationships with our boys and their families.
