An Evening Out In Munich, Germany

After arriving in Munich Germany from a long day of traveling, once the initial jet lag wore off I was extremely excited by the idea of immersing myself and be around all sorts of culture I had not seen before. After an amazing afternoon in the Christmas market, we were really excited to try to find some food. 

Augustiner Ewiges Licht while intimidating to say was not only a great place to find a bite to eat, and was extremely warm welcoming to tourists. This pub has a fun environment for everyone, even those not native to the language. Most of the time there was American classic rock bar music playing. Upon arrival, the host did not speak any English, but we were quickly pointed to a woman that would be able to communicate with us. This same woman ended up being our waitress for the entire evening and made a lot of helpful suggestions. 

Of course, one of the main dishes we had seen Ewiges Licht was famous for was their wiener schnitzel. After ordering a round of a few beers it seemed the most appropriate time to begin throwing deep-fried meat on top. We decided to get two wiener schnitzels. One was the traditional breading, and the other was a mustard breading. Both came with golden fries served in really cute deep frying buckets. Both of the wiener schnitzels were amazing. The mustard one tasted as though it had already dipped in imaginary honey mustard, and I have to say it tasted awesome. 

This restaurant felt so warm and welcoming that if it wasn’t for everyone speaking another language I would have sworn I was in my native country. Every now and then the room would erupt with chanting and cheering for a party that we were not aware of at first. This pub was exactly what the spirit needed after a long day of traveling to rekindle the drive to be immersed in the culture.

  2. kagould17 – Not much to tell. After working for 3 companies over 43+ years (38 years 7 months with my last company), I finally got that promotion I had waited my entire career for……retirement. I have been exploring this new career for the past 7+ years and while it is not always exciting, the chance to do what I want for myself and my family instead of what my company wants has been very fulfilling. Early on, there was a long list of projects in my “to-do” hopper and I attacked these projects with a vengeance for the first 9 months of retirement. Eventually, my brain told me that this was not what retirement was about, so it took me another 5 months before my industriousness again took over and I attacked another line of projects, this time somewhat shorter and less complicated, as well as many new projects related to the family weddings in 2016. After going hard for 6 weeks and 3 weddings, my body was telling me to relax, then the flu bug hit and as soon as that was done with me, my sciatic acted up. No rest for the wicked. In 2020 and 2021, the Covid 19 pandemic changed the whole retirement gig. I was lucky to not be still working, for sure. I enjoy photography, gardening, working with my hands, walking, cycling, skiing, travelling, reading and creating special photo and video productions obtained in my first pastime. I may never become wealthy in any of these pursuits, but I already feel I am rich in life experiences far beyond any expectation.

  4. Sheree – Cote d'Azur – I'm a sports mad Englishwoman, now living (thank goodness) in France, who developed a passion for cycling rather late on in life. I started the blog to keep my friends and family up-to-date with my adventures on two wheels, my recipes, my travels and my wonderful life in France. The title of my blog refers to when I first started cycling with my local club. I was always at the back of the bunch, until I slid off it on the first incline! On short climbs I could always catch back up on the ascent but on long climbs......I just used to bid them farewell and continue at my own speed. My cycling’s now much improved but I still get dropped!

    Ah, memories, was there enjoying the same food a few years back during Fasching a few years ago, an experience all should enjoy once in their lifetime. Of course we washed it down with something also. Thanks!
