Despite this article that Dad sent me, I decided to go ahead with my plans to hit Munich. I've got my train ticket for tomorrow, and a return ticket to Venice overnight Friday-Saturday. So the rest of my itinerary should now be set. I already have arrangements in Venice for Saturday and Sunday nights before heading back to Galway on Monday. Now I just need to find a place to stay in Munich, and I'm golden.
I'll be extra cautious, which will unfortunately dampen my mood and enjoyment of the place, but I'm looking forward to finally seeing at least one country where I have some definite, known ancestry.
By the way, for those fans of the GASTLR, I've been trying my best to keep a running tally that I'll update in full when I get back. Italy has not been so pro-UM and pro-Detroit, although I did see a Tigers hat while waiting in line to see The David this afternoon, and inside the gallery, there was a family with a college-aged kid wearing not only a UM hat, but an Ashley's T-Shirt. With that shirt, I knew he'd appreciate a hearty 'Go Blue' and found out that he was born in Port Huron as the family had lived in Croswell for a while before moving to Grand Rapids. A small world indeed.
Oh, I did get to see The David, but didn't make it into the Uffuzi today, unfortunately. Just one of those days, which started with me locking my luggage keys inside my backpack by mistake. It's gotten better though, and I'm now off back to the hotel to hope to try and reconnect with Jen and her cousins, otherwise it looks like another dinner alone shortly.
Oh, finally... GO WINGS! Glad to see they finally made it out of the first round again. Now can they go the distance???
