I failed to report about some of the things we noticed as we were arriving in Munich. First, we could see from the plane the perfectly groomed agricultural fielDs of the German farmers. From the air, they were a lovely patchwork of greens and browns. The grow lots of corn here for animal consumption, also wheat and hay. They work with modern farm equipment and are very productive. We also saw snow on the high Alpine peaks. And there are big areas of heavily forested lands as well.
Secondly, to report that folks here dress much as US people do. Lots of variety and colors. Women often wear leggings under skirts and dresses. Business men wear suits, but casual dress is usually jeans and tees. There are many western logos on clothing like Nike and Abercrombe. When people wear tennis shoes, they are usually black with white soles.
We came here expecting cooler temperatures, but the past two days have been stifling hot and humid, with us sweating through our clothes in a matter of minutes. If the heat continues like this, we both packed the wrong clothes. I brought long sleeve shirts. David brought long pants. We may have to buy shorts!!
