February 11-16, 1971 / Diessen trip: 3 weeks after my Paris trip, I grabbed my Eurail pass and headed to southern Germany for the 2nd time. I did stop in Munich but only stayed one night. That's where I met my cousin Diane, who worked in the city as a medical technologist for an American histologist. Here's the view on of my pension window. It felt good being back in Germany.
February 11-16, 1971 / Diessen trip: Another shot in Munich. I believe the building on the right is the Frauenkirche (Church of Our Lady). A lot of these streets in Munich were under construction for an underground transportation system that would service the 1972 Olympics.
February 11-16, 1971 / Diessen trip: A gargoyle being defeated on the side of the Frauenkirche. Which reminds me, I shopped for Hummels for my mother and send them back home. I also visited the famed Hofbraü house with Diane, where we sampled their brand of German beer and in a less frenzied atmosphere than at Oktoberfest last September.However, Germany was celebrating the pre-Lenten Fashing, but it was very drawn out and therefore not packing the same wallop as Oktoberfest.
