Alexandra sent me this card from Munich at the beginning of January. She writes the card shows the "Munchner Kindl" which is the official emblem figure of Munich. Each year a woman is voted to be the "Munchner Kindl" which then represents Munich at Octoberfest. Interesting custom!
Oh my! I was born in Munich & spent my early years growing up there. The little girl is standing in (or superimposed in front of) the Marienplatz, which is one of the main squares in Munich. I have a ceramic Münchner Kindl right on the shelf above me!

WOW! What a small world - I love when little interconnecting things like this happen!
