That Time of Year

Two days ago, it was too hot out for us to stay in the city.

Lacking a reason to do otherwise, we went straight back down to the lake.  I swiftly developed an urge to rent a boat and go sailing.

Unfortunately, this didn't happen, but we still had time to chill on the beach with what seemed like half the population of Munich.

We stayed until the evening and then headed back for dinner.

On the way, I stopped to take a picture of a man teasing a swan.  Or trying to teach it German.  I'm not really clear on what's going on here.

On our way back into town, the trains stopped running because of, as I understand it, 'people in the tracks.'  We had to walk halfway to our stop from the last stop to which the trains ran.  Some of us were more cheerful about this turn of events than others.

At the end of the light, we were rewarded by another lovely summer sky.  Note the timestamp on this one.  It was a quarter past nine.  Is it just me, or does the sun never go down that late in Maryland?  Or is it always so unwilling to set?

Also, I'm heading to Vienna this afternoon, so stay tuned for a deluge of new pictures...
