Slow Motion

If you want to travel a little slower around Munich than yesterday’s post, this is the best way. There’s something about hopping on your City Cruiser, finding a park somewhere, and getting lost in a book or two. The students around Munich’s University have figured out that the best place for sun worshiping (and possibly studying) is in the parks that line the near-by museums. As they are blocked from the wind, they make a perfect hide away. I like this picture because the soft lines of the woman’s shoulders and her bike are contrasted with the heavy stones of the museum. In Munich, there’s no better way to get around. You can get from the edge of town into the Altstadt in about 20 minutes, and there’s nothing like the fresh air along the way. So next time you are out cruising, be sure to find a park you’ve never seen before and enjoy the fact that you don’t have to be anywhere all that soon.
