We started our hike research when the glockenspiel at Marienplatz in Munich struck high noon. Nearby we found the Deutsch Alpine Club desk at the sporting goods store. The "are you prepared" display showing a dummy decked out in serious gear got me worried. We met Arlo's cousin Chris at the Apple store and then walked to a huge park, the size of Central Park. There we found (surprise!) a beer garden and Chris treated us to a refreshing Radler (half beer and half lemon-lime soda) and the biggest pretzel I've ever seen. Arlo showed me the tree where he used to play hackey-sack 20 years ago and noted his disappointment in the fact that German fräulein have discovered bras and bathing suits since then.

The "Are you prepared" makes me seriously wonder how many naked hikers are actually out there. Let me know if you see any braving the elements, Ann!
