Hi Everybody!
So like clockwork baby got up at half past six and was passed onto me so his parents could get a bit more rest, which was totally fine because it meant we got some quality time together! It was much needed, especially since I practically missed his whole first year of life. We played around and I tried to read more German baby books until Tanja and Max came down and fixed us breakfast. No pancakes this year, but I can’t complain because I got handed fresh bread and cheese and a hot cappuccino every morning. Maybe I should live here forever hehe! Tanja and Max definitely spoil me.
As a reward for letting Max sleep until basically noon, Tanja and I got to go to the French Quarter in Munich! Except now it’s not really French anymore, but there’s tons of patio cafes and fun dining spots. I was a total fan of their gardening, manicured but also looking a bit wild? Idk, I’m sure there’s a word for it that my godmom would know.
We walked through the town squares and had coffee in trendy cafes and walked into any little shop that caught my eye. I couldn’t help but laugh at this mug in one of the boutique stores! Definitely German, because all the American merchandise says the exact opposite.
We walked past older wooden buildings and quiet streets until we came to this bakery where I had another plum cake of course!! I’m eating as many as I can before I go haha. Maybe my new goal will be to figure out if I can bake this crumble at home….
Tanja and I strolled along the park to walk off our treats and also find the river. There weren’t any river surfers out today because it was “bad weather” at an overcast, balmy 85 degrees. Major eye roll there! I would’ve gone in the river! But I didn’t pack any change of clothes and muggy weather isn’t quite conducive to quickly drying off.
Our last city stop was this angel of peace monument which was beautiful and SO shiny despite being outside in all the elements. And with that last city view, we walked back to our cars and drove home to Max and the baby.
That evening Tanja cooked a delicious Asian wok dinner and then we watched Crazy Rich Asians together before going to bed. It was totally an unintentional theme, but kinda funny. Also, I’d say you can’t get more of a girls day than this!! It was so special to spend such quality time with a best friend. I can’t believe it’s already my last day in Germany tomorrow! Stay tuned.
Love you all,
Carolyn
