I’m finally going over the pictures from our trip to Germany and Austria earlier this month. Starting with Munich, a city I enjoyed very much for its natural beauty, for its museums, monuments, and palaces, and for the fun and folkloric beer culture. I’m not much of a beer drinker but admit I loved the draft beer in Munich.

But they also give structure to our actions and frame our movements.”
