Munich, Germany —

There are many lovely distractions in Munich on an early autumn morning but my favorite choice remains a stroll through the Viktualien market. The name derives from the Latin for food, victuals. And victuals there are aplenty as well as exotic herbs to spice them up, wines to wash them down with and flowers to decorate the table. All on offer as they have been daily since 1807.

When it comes to victuals, I think photos trump words so here is a brief pictorial journey.
