My lovely wife Heather and I arrived at SFO with plenty of time to spare only to discover that the flight was going to be late. The Air France plane had not yet even arrived from Paris. It finally arrived a couple of hours late, and after some time we boarded. Then, due to mechanical problems (gulp) the plane could not leave. Finally, three and a half hours late, we were cleared for takeoff.

We arrived in Paris to find that our connecting flight to Munich had been missed, but AF had arranged for us to take the next flight out, in less than an hour. We quickly made our way over and boarded on an outside gate.

We arrived in Munich Sunday evening. The attendant at the in-terminal subway station sold us two tickets for Marienplatz, and we headed for Pension Seibel. Our camera was malfunctioning, so the Munich pictures appear at the end...
