Last full day in Munich

Our eleven sleep White Christmas is closing in on us rapidly. Teagan has loved it, even though she is practicing becoming a boss and a big kid (typical for 5 year olds?), Ross is recovering from his allergy (although still dependent on medication) and I am "just normal".

For our last day in the city it decided to snow and Teagan decided to be super grumpy and tired. All was solved with a lovely morning tea and a very long visit to the Alte Pinakothek. Teagan slept for about 3 hours though the gallery and the snow so we had a lovely time looking at paintings of our choice! I was taken by a fabulous depiction of the Holy family, only to discover it was a Rembrandt - a bit like being taken by clothing here and to find that my tastes are only fit for a King's pocket purse! Bruegel, 16th century, also took our eye as a depict or of peasant life...personally, I loved his portrait of an old woman, Ross liked his landscapes.



























Of course we finished up up at another beer hall for a less touristy beer hall expensive. Teagan happily played with her blocks and we tromped through the snow back to Hotel Uhland for our final night (see www.hotel-uhland.de).
