Ended up in Berlin for that which is why I missed so many things. The crowds were incredible. It was a four-day week-end for them.

I also got so sick-I had such bad laryngitis that I could not speak, my throat hurt so much and I was the one who spoke German (not fluent). I love the Glockenspiel and I remember reading that after WW2 it was severely damaged but an American GI who had some money, loved what he saw and felt for the people so he gave the money to restore this. The Knight who knocks the other off his horse is supposed to be that GI Birgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147049442316958074.post-72735450510198330632014-04-08T16:33:34.545-04:002014-04-08T16:33:34.545-04:00Such an impressive building.Such an impressive building.Damaria Sennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08844894356665627961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147049442316958074.post-14370017030815651592014-04-08T15:51:47.427-04:002014-04-08T15:51:47.427-04:00Lovely pictures.

I love those pictures but have to say we have a Glockenspiel in Kitchener which hosts the biggest Oktoberfest outside Munich. I have never been to any of the festivities, we avoid it as much as possible. I did work for the company that made it though at the time they were actually doing so.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147049442316958074.post-8155242047273355032014-04-08T12:10:05.943-04:002014-04-08T12:10:05.943-04:00denise, if you haven't already--you should wri...denise, if you haven't already--you should write a travel book!Lynn Proctorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349867270815243053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147049442316958074.post-61818467309305431042014-04-08T12:05:38.391-04:002014-04-08T12:05:38.391-04:00Get old and retire.
