Last night Wollie and me stuffed ourselves with some homemade curry and afterwards we felt like going for a digestive walk. So off we went at about 8.30 for a nice stroll around our neighborhood. We walked down Prinzregentenstr and at the end of the road is this massive monument called the 'Friedensengel', or the Angel of Peace. It is such a pretty sight. It is part of the Maximilian Park and is a big square monument, with a small temple at the bottom showing the portraits of the German Emperors and a 38 meters high Corinthian style column, with a statue of the angel of peace at the top. Two staircases lead to the observation deck and the road circles around it. Probably one of the prettiest roads in Munich with green trees and parks all around. The people were sitting on the monument drinking beers and having picnic watching the sunset. Love it.
All around Munich are walk- and bicycle ways which runs along the Isar river and just under the monument is a bridge for the cyclists with the coolest graffiti.
