Labor Day Plans?

It's the end of another summer. Are you having one last fling before the cold weather sets in?

You're welcome.operafan wrote:Because my children's school renovation will take at least a week into 'Fall', I get at least one extra week of Summer (insert any other version of Summer besides the well known Vivaldi). Yosemite without tourists (with the exception of my family ). A totally excellent place, particularly since they have banned autos from the valley floor. The only drawback is hiking to high meadows with the zillion pound telecope divided among the four of us. It will be worth the effort to see the Triphid nebula again. A heart felt thankyou to John Muir, and all the taxpayers who support the National Park System.
Don't apologize. You've given me the biggest laugh I've had on this board in months. (For those who are not aware of it, "The Day of the Triphids (Triffids)" is a classic science fiction story, in which, among other things, the world goes blind from staring into space.)operafan wrote:Sorry, typo.

Ralph, if you wanted to cross the ocean, I would make you welcome our annual fall Bratwurst barbecue for welcome-back to teachers.Ralph wrote:My life's a fling. If it turns out to be hot weather then a last visit to the town's beautiful pool. Last Labor Day it was cool and overcast and I made the mistake of going there and got very depressed.
Labor Day is no big deal for me. My classes begin on 29 August so I have a full week of teaching behind me.
It would be nice is someone invited me for a Labor Day barbecue but that never happens.

While you're here, you might consider applying to replace our retired social studies chair (Lord knows I could use another colleague with a brain in his head). You could live in a palace on the DoDDS hq allowance.
The problem is that I also love your job, your city, your restaurants, etc.Ralph wrote:*****jbuck919 wrote:Ralph, if you wanted to cross the ocean, I would make you welcome our annual fall Bratwurst barbecue for welcome-back to teachers.Ralph wrote:My life's a fling.

Thanks but I couldn't be happier anywhere but here. I love my job, my city, my restaurants, etc.

I'll probably stay in town. The last time I visited a friend (by the most bizarre coincidence a former teaching colleague from Maryland who happens to be a native of Munich), and while she gave me the royal treatment, I really missed what I would like to do--see the Alte Pinakotek, have a jog, and just enjoy the unique wonder of exploring a fine city.Corlyss_D wrote:Lucky!jbuck919 wrote:Hun, I'm going to Munich!
Is Nymphenburg on your list of things to visit? It was my favorite place to be.
Nymphenburg is in the city. It didn't used to be, but with urban growth, it is now. It was the King's summer residence.jbuck919 wrote:I'll probably stay in town.
No kidding! I stayed at Am Hofgarten, a little pension right next to the town palace with its own huge park and gardens, and a mere 3 blocks from the operahouse. In 1983 it was about DM 45/night, compared to 6 times that much for the Four Seasons about 2 blocks away.I might add that the train and hotel are ridiculously cheap by the standards of many other tourist destinations, including beloved New York.
