they smell used and musty

thereis a strong breeze in the alley, it takes all the

warmth from the head and the face. It is curious,

because the breeze dies down and stops at the

end at the alley. Somehow, the wind is trapped

between the houses, capricious, to blow hard

in the centre of the alley, and not at all any

more at the end, by the church.

And then the church bells ring twice. There

is a single light in the window up at the top

of the house that contains Grimms crockery

shop. Hurry between the arches, to the right

and to the left the eafes that will open later on
 during the day. They still have Christmas trees

in pots out on the street, a left over from the

christmas parties last year.
Dolores has just left the bakery shop by the town gate,

she is wrapped up in her shawl she gives a

happy "good Morning'. Over the past years, she

seems to have become much happier.

The bus arrives, let Dolores board first. Give

the money to the driver, a five Euro note. He

is a man with a heard today, he taps the

square on his screen, and a ticket is printed by

the machine.

At the railway station wish the smoker a

good morning. Order a cup of coffee and

take a seat in the waiting room. start to

write these notes, and then get up, go to the

platform.

Take the earlier train today, the one that

goes to the airport. Avoid the delay that

occurred yesterday, as the train was held up.

Board the airport train, this is a new train

which goes directly to the Airport in Munich.

With a stop in Freising and in Moosburg.

Shortly before'the train reaches Freising,

there is an announcement saying that the

toute to the airport has been blocked. So all change at Freising. There is a sound of anger and discontent in the train. Yet another railway system that does not work.

Chenge. for the local train.
These are older carriages, they smell used and musty
