Last week, Tristan and I went to Marienplatz and we climbed a million stairs to the top of St. Peter's Church. And if you think I'm kidding...I'm not! I figured it would be an enclosed winding staircase....oh, so not the case! It was mostly OPEN stairs and most of the time you could see straight through to the bottom. It didn't LOOK that high from the ground...but when we finally made it to the top, I was afraid to step out onto the tiny two foot wide walkway. I didn't take my camera with me that day, but it's just as well, as I would've been terrified that I would drop it down the stairs! I had a death grip on poor Tristan's wrist as it was!On the way down, just as we were passing the gigantic bells, and I said to Tristan, "Look honey, the bells"...they began to toll and the whole place shook. And I actually wimpered! Thank goodness it was only three o'clock! It was however, a crystal clear and blue sky day and you could see forever into the mountains.
So today, we went to the top of the Glockenspiel, which had a lovely elevator thank you very much! Here is a picture of Tristan at the top with St. Peter's Church in the background.
Here is a better shot of just the church. Notice the walkway is much higher than the Glockenspiel. Notice also that there is no blue sky or visability!
This is the view looking towards the toy museum.
Looking up!
Here is Tristan at the bottom inside the courtyard showing how high up he just was.
At least once a week Tristan and I can be found at Caffe San Pietro. Tristan is a well known and loved patron! As you can see, we always get a warm welcome from Kris and Tatjana!
What else can pull you through the dead of winter like flowers?
After careful consideration, Tristan chose for me a beautiful bouquet of light pink tulips. Thank you Tristan!
