Quote of the Day

“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.”
C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves

Munich


My first adventure outside of Vienna was to… Munich. I could not have asked for a better first place! I travelled there by train. The overnight train to be exact, but in no way was it a full night. It is a 5 to 6 hour train ride. We travelled in style too. We got a 2nd class ticket which included a lovely seat with seat people in a cabin. The cabin was freezing too! After awhile though some people departed and we ended up getting to lay down for three hours. We arrived at 6:15 am and had some time to kill. We checked in to the hotel, got some food, and just wandered.
The fun began at Oktoberfest. The crowds were crazy! There was sooo much energy within the tent. A lot of Americans too! I had an overall great experience.
The next day we explored Munich. We took a hop-on-hop-off one. Got to see a lot of stuff that I had no idea existed. We walked around the place for 2 hours as well. Wondered the garden. Got lots of souvenirs! And now I am another overnight train…. With a very drunk person. The joys of public transportation! I am gonna try to sleep and wake up back in Vienna!
