CLC 2018 – Going Around in a Circle 2
The weather is good: …but my cough lingers
Sunday March 11, 2018
For today I had planned an itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny little tour from one train station to another, along a river, just 23 km long and flat as a pancake. The weather was good enough, downright mild after a cold February. But my good sense and mainly my husband said it wasn’t a good idea. As a matter of fact he wasn’t going to let me go. So I – cough cough cough – gave up the idea for today.
Instead my husband and I rode our bikes in Munich and had a look at the St.Patrick’s Day Parade. This has become a big thing in Munich, I don’t know why because St. Patrick isn’t a Bavarian saint. The event was started by a small gathering of Irish expats in 1996 and has become a massive parade of over 15,000 participants and spectators. I always love marching bands and parades and marching bagpipers were a novelty. It was lots of fun.
When we had seen enough we went for a pizza.
It was a very short ride. Should it count towards the challenge? Well, if my planned theme doesn’t materialize, I’ll include this one. Perhaps the new theme will be “Inside the Circle”.

I'm a US born ex-pat, having lived most of my adult life in Munich, Germany. I have three kids and eight grandchildren - so I'm pretty old. Cycling, photography and walking are my favorite things.

Suzanne dearest,
Of course this counts! Take it easy until you’re completely well. We have weeks yet. Your Goddess commands.

Well, if it counts, I’ll write up another one of these little non-rides. Thanks for your blessings, Goddess!
Great! I’m envious – I’m never happy with my photos of people in crowds like this. The unicycle quartet is especially delightful.
Glad you like them, Scott. Pictures in crowds are the very most difficult, so much distracting background. You have to do what the photojournalists do – run into the middle of the road to get a front view, then squat down on the ground and shoot upwards to get sky as the background. It works every time – except I’ve never done it.
