It started snowing at around 8 am this morning here in Munich, but it could not have been more than an inch an or so, from what I could tell.
I used the Line 19 streetcar again to get Hauptbahnhof (the main train station), and from there, ran out to Odeonsplatz and a comic book store on Fraunhoferstrasse.
The view from my hotel room (using my phone’s 5x zoom to zoom in on the Deutsche Bahn train maintenance station) at 8 this morning.Here comes the Line 18 streetcar, at Am Lok-schuppen station.At Sendlinger Tor station, I stepped off the streetcar and went underground to the U-bahn. (The sidewalk surfaces were treacherous with the snow and ice, and there were no pedestrian crossings to speak of. Then I realized that is the other use of any U-bahn station: it’s an under passage for pedestrians to get from one side of an intersection to the other).Here is Odeonsplatz, named for the former concert hall, the Odeon, on its northwestern side. The church is the Theatine Church of St. Cajetan and Adelaide (German: Theatinerkirche St. Kajetan und Adelheid)— a Roman Catholic church. It was consecrated 11 July, 1675.Taking a closer look at the heraldic elements in the center (the lions and the white-and-blue checkered pattern is taken from the coat of arms of Bavaria).Here is the nearby Hofgarten (Eng. ‘Courtyard garden’), established in 1613.Back inside the Sendlinger Tor U-bahn station. I love the giant white saucer-shaped light fixtures.This is a comic book store called Comic Company near Fraunhoferstrasse station. I bought used three comic books for all of Є8.40. More books to weigh down my luggage but hey, I was still 10+ pounds under the weight limit with both my suitcases when I checked them in at Cape Town.By the time I hopped off the Line 18 streetcar close to my hotel, the snow had started to melt.

Reminds me of wayback in 1998 when we flew to Munich and Athens during spring with our 2 kids with LTU airline.
The science museum was fascinating, but we also enjoyed Marienplatz and the Hofbrauhaus.
We made a road trip to Hachnau ( stayed with friends of friends who had a cherry farm) – on Lake Constance, -the Rhine falls and Mainau island.
That was after chartering a bare boat 36 foot yacht at Piraeus and enjoying an exciting cruise between a few islands for 5 days
