Landsberg. The Lech runs through it…
(this is the town where Hitler was imprisoned. While he was stuck in the prison here, he wrote Mein Kampf. Maybe he didn’t have a good view from his prison window?)
Meta-dog has been in a state of winter-induced Torpor, and so we apologise for a dearth of exciting posts lately.
BUT. to make up for it, she stopped by Valhalla to hang with the other heros and gods.

sitting on a bridge built in 1146… take THAT, Mr. 21st century!

First we went to München:
meta was incredulous that we made a pit stop that did not include a single dog snack.
as you can imagine, at least one of these hands reached the meta-dog and quickly displaced her from this precarious position in the maw of a bronze carp.
meta-dog’s reward for a day posing in Munich? half of a weisswurst, what else?
