by the lake






the other weekend i escaped the noise and hustle of munichs inner city and made a trip to herrsching, hiked to kloster andechs and was blinded by the afternoon sun dancing on the waves of deep blue ammersee.

 a sign of life


so it's already been three weeks since i've been here in munich. and i have to say that i miss home and all the people i left behind quite a lot. half of my weekends i spend at home, always glad to see my family and friends. the other half of my weekends i stay in munich and try to use all of my time exploring new corners – or looking back into the past: this weekend i made a big tour around the town, walked through haidhausen and the glockenbach viertel, where i lived during my last stay, visited all the places that i know and that feel familiar to me. as spring is on its way i found bloomig trees all couloured in pink or white everywhere i went. such a relieve for someone not accustomed to being surrounded by plaster and grey business buildings...

 museum of egyptian art
















there's no better way to spend a cold and rainy day than in a museum. this time: the museum of egyptian art with its completely subterranean exhibition grounds located under munich's film school. the perfect refuge on this utterly grey sunday...

 goodbye (for a while)


like i said in my last post... changes are about to come. i will leave home for a while as my new job starts on monday. in munich. i'm truly looking forward to meeting up with all the people down there, to see how munich awakens during spring and summer, to visit all the spots i discovered throughout my stays in the past, to drink fresh beer at the isar or in a 'biergarten' after work is done, and to go for swims again at my beloved 'volksbad'.

but of course it's not easy to let go of my life here at home, so i spend the last few days saying goodbye to my friends and enjoy the first sunbeams of this spring by going for walks till the sun goes down...

 changes












i am so sorry that i didn't write during the past few weeks. life is going on so fast and there are so many things on my mind... i didn't make time to go out and grasp what is going on around me by taking photographs – and i really missed it... missed the feeling to just focus on what's right in front of me, forgetting everything else, creating memories. well, here are some of my latest ones...

see you soon,
susanne
