The view from the top of Alter Peter (Old Peter), otherwise known as St. Peter's, Munich's oldest church. Over 300 steps up. The other church in the first picture is Frauenkirche, "Church of Our Lady," and the spiky building in the second picture is the New City Hall (new since 1874), home of the famous Glockenspiel.
First Picture: In Munich's outdoor market, selling fruit, vegetables, flowers and Bavarian crafts (lots of things made with pussywillows). Second picture is from Thursday's Bavarian Dinner with all the conference attendees, where we met Ahmed, an Egyptian. Ahmed had been living in the U.S. for 15 years when the protests in Egypt started this winter. He went back to Cairo to participate and has now decided to stay there. He's very optimistic about the country's future and it was great to meet and talk to him.
