Sendlinger Tor Market

I've not a lot on this market this year, except to say that it still holds the title for having the best Wurst Semmel and I found a new addition~the Kaesekrainer-a cheesy stuffed red wurst.  Yum!  As far as decor and things to buy, I am always drooling over these stars.  One of the neighbors across the street has one in their window and it looks beautiful at night whilst lit.  I just don't know how to go about affixing it to the window....but I do love the way they look!

These are festive, but on the list of things that I don't need....

This is a small market, but one that is fun to stop and have a look around.

And maybe partake in a lovely cheesy wurst.....

Hotel Atlanta

Whaa? For a minute there I thought that I was back home.......

ps: this hotel is on Sendlinger Strasse just before the Tor...

Sendlinger Tor

Okay, this picture would have been soooo much better if the dude on the bike hadn't snuck in, but alas, here it is...Sendlinger Tor is a large Gothic city gate. It is one of three gates that remain from the original secondary city gates, along with Karlstor and Isartor from 1285-1347. Tor in German means gate. This area is heavily pedestrian filled, as Sendlinger Strasse is a long street of shops (which coincidentally leads to Marienplatz) on which is nestled the Asamkirche. (Kirche is German for church) The church which is hiding on Sendlinger Strasse looks like a whole lotta nothin' until you go inside...(more on this church later... See? Now you have to come back!)
