Check those steeples!

Beautiful day, blue sky, puffy clouds, not a rain drop in sight.  Ok so I decide to risk all and take the train to the main train station. This is closet to the museum I would like to go to.  This is a little risky because when you get off the train and find your way to the surface streets you really have no way of telling where you are. Smaller stations you have more luck figuring it out.  But I felt like taking a chance. So I got to the surface, I did not check the church steeples, but the museum was right in front of me. Was I lucky. Did I mention that churches were good for something? Using as guides to get you from one attraction to the next in a big city. Suffice it to say I did not check my steeples before I went into the museum. (Trudy and Alice don't even go there, me and the wind god are BFF's) 

So I bought a ticket and  wondered in. The pamphlet was in German so kind of hard to tell what you will look at before you actually look at it. I saw a lot of china, furniture from all eras, modern stuff, not really what I had in mind. A few old master paintings in rooms with furniture of the era but no impressionists, pointillism, Picasso ..... Oh well, spent a few hours then headed out to go on a lake walk. I walked about for a half hour in the direction the lake should of been in and no lake? Odd? Check you steeples Gale! 

Come to find out I was in the wrong museum headed the opposite direction of the lake. After I sorted myself out I found the art museum about a 30 minute walk in the opposite direction. Ok so Kirk might of been useful, love the man, we make a good team.

Museum was great, and really huge. Lots of Ceszane, Picasso, Monet, Manet, Degas, ...my favorites. 

Headed off to my favorite wifi and bathroom, checked my steeples and off I went. Found Starbucks right off! Just keep checking the steeples and I will do fine.
