Signs of spring in Munich

A couple of reliable reminders that spring is coming to Munich, finally. Although this seems a bit early since the first time I was here , March, 40+ years ago, there was snow on the ground. That could still happen.
The gelateria was open, nice balmy 13 C, 55 F, and sunny.
The crocusses have stated poping up. Color at last.

Sitting outside in front of a place almost exactly like that one n Munich! This was back in the 80s.

Thanks for jogging that memory for me!

This is at Harris in Sendling.
I get here too often. My hearing doctor is located just to the left. The hearing aid store is across the big road.
They have a nice little Xmas markt also in Novemeber. Just mostly locals.
