Magnifico!

Tuesday after the doctor, Sylvio and I were off to Munich for the premiere of Magnifico.

He showed me just a little bit of the city as I could not walk too much. We did however stop by the Mayor's house.... wow, it was a amazing.


Munich is gorgeous. Hopefully in a week or two we will be making it back up that way. 




The Magnifico premiere was amazing. There was a red carpet and hundreds of talented individuals that attended. Paparazzi were taking pictures and the fashions were unique. Some looked like a million bucks. 

The show was two hours with a break in the middle. It had everything from horses with lights to break dancing. There were acrobatics and contortionists, yodeling and flamenco dancing. It was a one of a kind show that had something for everyone. It was MAGNIFICO!

This is a video of the break dancing. It as absolutely amazing. One of my favorite performances by far. 





The whole experience was unforgettable. The show is a definite success and is touring throughout Europe. We had to leave that night to get back in time for Sylvio to pick up his wife from the airport the next morning. We left Munich around 11 p.m. Taking the autobahn, going about 220km the whole way, it took us about 4 hours to get home.

Wednesday I slept the day away because my foot was in so much pain and I had a rough nights sleep.

 I want to relax my foot as much as possible now so hopefully by the middle of next week it will be better. The bruising will be gone, hopefully, so the aircast won't rub against the sensitive area.

Yesterday Nana, Sylvio's wife, took me on a driving tour around Potsdam to show me places to go when my ankle heals. I didn't realize how much Potsdam has to offer but there are about 7 different castles walking distacne from their house. There is one castle in a park that will take up the whole day. I can't wait to go. It's about a 30 minute walk from the house and has gardens, cafes, and gorgeous scenery.


We then went to another castle, the Cecilienhof Palace, where the Potsdam agreement was drawn up.

There was so much history there. We went on a guided tour to learn more but I wasn't allowed to take pictures inside. 



We wandered around and then headed back for a quiet night in.

 There is so much history in Potsdam. It will take me a good week to explore just this area let alone going back into Berlin. Hoping for the ankle to heal fast or at least give me less pain, so I can explore more soon!
