Post# ?? Wochenende Nr. 8

This was a somewhat relaxing weekend.

At first, I had plans to visit Dorian Hall in Berlin, but in the end the ticket would have been 220€, so I decided against it. But in order to find that out, I was up at 3 in the morning, ready to catch the train from Klinikum Großhadern at 4:13, but at 4:12 I couldn't exactly remember if I'd locked my door, so I had to run back, and wound up needing to catch the train at 5:03. I wound up wandering the Hauptbahnhof until 6:30 gathering information about train schedules and possible other destinations that Dorian and I could meet up at. So, hopefully, we can meet up in Bayreuth on the weekend of August 1.

After I got back from this excursion, I slept for a few hours, and got up in time to be on Marienplatz at 12 Mittag. I didn't realize it until then, but at 12 that day was the official start of the Christopher Street Day Parade from Marienplatz to Müllerstraße. After watching this for a while, I went to the Westfriedhof and switched my iPod to Mahler's 2nd Symphony. It was a nice almost 2 hours. The Westfriedhof is very big, but not as old as the Alte Südfriedhof. (By the way, a Friedhof is a graveyard). But despite the depressing sounding nature of an excursion of this type, it actually isn't. The Friedhöfe here are very well kept, and with the amount of flowers that are placed around on the graves, it would be hard to feel depressed while there.

On Sunday, I went to Alter Peter for Mass, then spent the rest of the day quietly either wandering around the middle of the city, or back at my room.
