Mid-afternoon Snack in Munich

JRN 202 Blog Post

On April 4, 2010 I got this delicious Greek Yogurt from Glockenspiel Café on Marienplatz in Munich, Germany. My German teacher, who was with me at the time, suggested this as an option.

As it was delivered to the table, I was slightly shocked at it’s magnitude. First, I was expecting a bowl, not a sundae glass. Then there is the fact that a good inch of honey was resting on top of the nuts and yogurt. Nevertheless, it looked absolutely delicious!

The nuts and honey on top were aesthetically pleasing. (But, what on earth is that orange thing? To this day I have not figured it out…) I never had Greek Yogurt before this moment in time so I was a little wary of the entire combination. I remember saying, “Yogurt and honey? Does that really work?” Only after a few spoonfuls did I decide that the snack was great! I’d definitely get it again if I hadn’t just recently found out that I’m slightly lactose intolerant…

But, there is no need to concern yourself with that tidbit of information.

If I ever find myself back in Munich, I’ll definitely be going to this café again. Maybe I’ll even risk illness to have it once more!

Dieser Joghurt war lecker!!!

Sweet Treats

These looked absolutely mouth-watering. In Munich, at a little shop in Marienplatz, I nearly blew my budget on treats such as these. I stopped myself though… only got an ice cream cone! I have vowed that when I get back to Germany, I must visit this place again.

Nymphenburg Park

My tour group didn’t have time to explore the park and gardens at Nymphenburg Palace but if I ever get the chance to go back I’ll definitely walk through the place. The grand parterre, pictured above, is exactly that. Grand.

Rathaus auf dem Marienplatz

Here is the clocktower, part of the Rathaus on Marienplatz in Munich, Germany. It was really unbelievable. I’ve never seen anything like this building before. I was trying to take photos without subjecting my camera to the raindrops that were beginning to fall. My class group were waiting until 11 AM for the Glockenspiel re-enactment to begin.
