München, empty streets
2019年1月1日, ドイツ ⋅ ⛅ 4 °C
Munich is a ghost town today. Eerie, but peaceful. I love the skinny trees lining this street. Walked around, everything closed. Still trying to recover from an ever-worsening cold.

For a good part of the hike, mine were the only footprints in the snow. Also, who would have thought an umbrella would be so useful? Afterwards I walked around Berchtesgaden.

I’m not entirely sure of the significance of the six-winged sawfly, but it’s pretty neat.

I don’t really understand any Slovak, but I can sort of figure it out when asked if I’d like anything in my coffee, like “mlieko” (milk) or “alkohol.”
