A few unexpected roses from our first couple of days in Munich:
~That free wine on international flights.
~There are actual roses and a yard.
~The toilet paper here is so thick. It's like wiping with a paper towel.
~An entire extra toilet in our rental that was not advertised!
~Someone left a decent bike with a lock here. We were planning on buying a used one for Jay to ride to work so we saved a few bucks.

Jay's sweet freebie bike. |
~A weekly visit from a cleaning person is included in our rental...also not advertised. Holy. Crap.
~No screens on the windows and also no mosquitos.
~There's a balcony off of each bedroom.
~This kids chair that I've always wanted back home.
~Many people are wearing joggers out of the house here.
Some minor thorns:
~There is a church directly across the street that dings and dongs like the city is on fire right into our open windows at noon and 3 just in time for naps. There is minor dinging and donging at all other hours. Closing the windows and baking alive with no a/c is not an option.
~They are shutting down the main train stops from our house to downtown every weekend in August for maintenance. This means a wierd bus route and no chance for me to practice using the train with Jay on the weekends for my solo trips with the girls on the week days.
~Our train stop and all of our destinations so far have not exactly been ADA accesible as we anticipated. Lifting the stroller in has been a two person job...another thing I'm not looking forward to doing solo.
~Our tablet does not lend itself to formatting blog posts well.
~I was inches away from bringing my Adidas classic tennis shoes and one people watching trip on the train made it clear that I most definitely should have.
