When the Steelcase group from Rosenheim found out were were traveling home through Europe, they asked Ken if he would stop in for a few days of training. Of course it was no problem. Training was scheduled for Thursday and Friday and we decided to spend the weekend as well to see some of the area.
I had never been to Europe before and so I was very excited to see everything. After an overnight flight to Munich with all the shades drawn, the morning arrived and I lifted the shade to look out. What a thrill. My first look at the Alps!
We landed and traveled to Rosenheim which is about an hour south of Munich. After a short rest we were ready to explore. The first thing I noticed when starting our walk was the almost storybook quality of the town center. There is a pedestrian town square in the center surrounded by very old buildings and churches. Curving streets lead up to the square and there are very few traffic lights in this area.
Even though it was mid March and quite chilly, the outdoor life was quite the norm.
Coffe shops encourage outdoor seating by providing blanket throws for the customers who want to enjoy their drinks in the fresh air - desserts too.
Spreading out a bit from the town square is more beautiful architecture and a peaceful town to enjoy.
As you travel farther out from the center of town the look becomes much more contemporary and the Steelcase offices are no exception. It is a work environment most everyone would enjoy, especially the cafeteria with the lit floor and the outdoor patio.
And the following morning we had a light snow falling at breakfast.
