After Christmas Eve at our house in Munich, we ventured down to Lake Starnberg for a few days to celebrate Weihnachten with a Christmas goose (wow goose is crispy and delicious). The dinner and festivities went well into the night and next morning, since it's my host Grandmother's birthday the next day. We drank cognac and champagne after the kids were asleep and talked next to the fireplace and Christmas tree - so romantic.
The following day was filled with semmel breakfast, playing hide and seek outside of Oma's house with the kids and a long walk along the lake. Starnberger See is incredibly breathtaking. I now understand why so many artists in Bavaria came around to paint it before it was really populated. I learned a fair amount of Starnberg's art scene and its development at the Lenbachhaus museum last week (post on that visit coming soon!)
It's days like this that keep me conscious of how fortunate I am to be living and playing in such a picturesque part of the world. I'm off to Prague for New Years and some exploring with Marcella and her parents - stay tuned for pictures of that adventure!
