I think it was biking along the river Isar, with my favorite Munich pal, Marion, that I realized this is really one of the most beautiful cities I have ever visited. Open up any fairytale book, and wallah, there is Munich...

A tongue forming Russian and curling Turkish salivates for English. Her eyes osculate towards the Southern light while dilating as she invites me into the hazel.
