After taking tons of pictures we decided to hunt down the Weisswurst, but not without taking a picture of the rest of the old part of Weihenstephan with a view to the old part of the universitiy for...ermm... anything with polution and geobotanic.

I spend afternoons and afternoons there, waiting for my father to finish his lectures... in anything with polution and geobotanics;)

And especially for Mariapia, here is a little white bear and then there is the picture of the Beer-bear of Freising and how the garden looks like in summer and how the Brewery looks like if there is no fog. And, last but not least, the trophy of my hunt: white sausages. On the airport!!


With a warm and friendly happy new year from the eldest brewery I'll close my picture greetings;)
Thank you for your "photo tour", millivanilli! I feel as though I have been away on a little vacation this morning! And I'm glad you finally found your Weisswurst!
 
Time capsule is a lovely tradition.
We always end the old year on the 31st with a cozy dinner for two, a game of scrabble by the fire with popcorm and a bit of champagne, and... if we can stay awake... a romantic movie later in the evening. This year it will be Singin' In The Rain in honor of Debbie Reynolds.
Then we ring in the new year on the 1st with a brisk walk along the bay, feeling quite smug that we're up early with no hangovers.
Sounds perfect! I'm envious of your fireplace and your closeness to the Bay.

My container is a hallmark ornament.
Time capsule for 2000/ millenium.
The bottom unscrews, to hold paper scroll.
Repurposed its function. Into New Year tradition.;)

I will send ninjas to fight for me.:lol:
Seriously, Mariapia's nieces need some good ol' bag slapping.:annoyed:
:bagslap:

Hi, Tomsmom.:wave:
Thank you.:kitty::heart:

Really appreciate you taking us on this journey.
These photos especially are beautiful, imo.:hbeat:

I remember Berlin had a bear passenger jet.:coolio:

2016 was strange mixture.
Agreed, loved my trip to NZ. :sunshine:
But identity theft & death sucked.:death:
Some gorgeous bags rolled through here, though.:tup:

Wishing all a 2017 filled with bright sparks & shadows, in good balance.:hugs:

Planning my party wardrobe for tonight.
Top of list, disgruntled crab face:

With nice handbag. And perhaps bright lipstick.:giggle:

Hope party was fun and you did not need the crab face. :P
Cigarettes in Nova Scotia? I am in!:smile::smile:
As for the bag my nieces were fighting about, I don't know!
My brother shouldn't have told me about the whole thing... Sometimes I don't understand why people don't shut up...:nuts:
Yay! We will be a merry party at Nova Scotia with our cigarettes. :D
Hm. Shutting up in the right moment is a feature many families lack...

Great plans for the evening and the next morning. When I was a child my father and I left the house at 8 am and hiked through the woods until lunch. I remember being fascinated by the sleeping world around us. :)
 
The girls and mom are having a great time.
Mom took a fall a few days ago and bruised her hand. She seems ok tho.
The oldest was bit by a goose. No details on that one yet. They will be back Tuesday.


ahhh that hurts!!!. And they become relentless once they want to slap or bite you, there is no way out, they will get you. I once had a goose, safed from becoming a christmas dish. Once in a year she sat on her own eggs and the eggs the chicken gave her (!!!) and became pretty nasty once my husband or my daughter entered the barn as she knew they would try to take away the eggs (no, no animal cruelty over here, those eggs explode after a while and believe me, you never smelled anything worse in your life). Biting, slapping the wing into the face..snorling, spitting, yelling, the whole program. Once she was so mad, that she attacked me too- so the whole family went in bruises and was hurt ;)). Smart animal though. She would came to the front door, leading the chicken there and knocking for salad and noodles and had her walk through the village we lived in in that time until my dog guided her home. But that biting.... well that was really like hell broke loose. We gave her to a nice groups of geese once we moved out. Now she has little geese and slaps everybody in the face... hehee.

so, upupupup, we'll go!!!! ;)
 
Good morning everybody and a happy happy New Year! Finally everybody reached 2017 with cigarettes from Nova Scotia (unbelievable beautiful place!), put their memories into time capsules (was the party good?) had their books finished, the romantic movie running, the fireplace going and tasted good bear. I Hope I didn't forget anybody and I hope too that all dogs who were terriefied by NYE did good and with as less stress as possible.

Now let's have a pretty walk on bays, woods and empty streets and plot some plans for 2017, to rule the world;)
 
Poor dog. My aunt's dog is totally scared about fireworks.

poor dog. As you can read German, there is a pretty interesting article about NYEs anxiety in dogs in German. We tried the eggnogg thing this year. Helped, but I had to stay in the bathroom with my dog for 4 or 5 hours, can't remember anymore as this is the most quiet room. Pretty uncomfortable. Next year we go to Sylt or something like that. No more batahroompartying for me, please.

Yes, tough wardrobe decisions.
I own waterproof, insulated trench coat--bought for UK. Only worn there.
Feels wasteful. But soooo welcome, when needed.

Have not heard of them--will research. Thank you.

Nursing ongoing obsession with "aunts & uncles" bags, from Germany.
But some of their colorful/patterned linings bother me.
Love quirky brands.:smile:

I know. [emoji4] But I rarely go anywhere snow that often anymore and living in tropical, it's just not practical for me to wear boots. I mean some fashionable girls out there still wear it, but I find it gross and stinky with all the sweat. [emoji37] I swear enough already just in my sneakers. [emoji37]
