Hot Town, Summer in the City

Today was forecast to reach 34 degrees, so a departure from our plans to put on some serious kilometres was necessary.

We were prepared. A duvet cover from a thrift store, a travel towel, picnic foods, and lots of sunscreen. A thirty minute walk brought us to the perfect place in Englischer Garten park: on the banks of Schwabinger Bach, under shady trees. The duvet cover served as beach blanket.

We were in the cool, thigh-deep running water within half an hour of arriving. We picnicked, waded, listened to music (on headphones, we’re not monsters!), swam, napped, and otherwise enjoyed a relaxing day.

Soon it was dinner time, and we packed up and wandered to the grocery store to restock picnic supplies, then to the same restaurant as last night to grab two banh mi sandwiches to go. Another great day, though totally different than the rest.
