I’m writing this from the easyInternetcafe in Munich near the Hauptbahnhof. I took part in a program on education and research in Germany sponsored by the Council on Public Policy, a group that is doing much to revive critical thought in Germany. And tomorrow veerrryyyy early in the morning I’m off to Garmisch-Partenkirchen for two days of hiking in the Bavarian Alps. (And a brief yodelling refresher course.)
Back to the U.S. on Monday. I’ll miss the good beer and the excellent Bratwurst.
Yes, Munich, beer, weiÃ?Â??wurst, and the council have been highlights for the last two days.

Since you’re not heading back to the beer-vana of the Pacific Northwest (spreading as far south as S.F.), I suppose that last comment is fair.
The gap between your posts has been on the rise. U r disappointing your readers, Mr Palmer..!
Dear Mr. Palmer:
Yes, Bavaria is beautiful for sure. I saw you at FRA airport on Monday, July 19th, departure hall for flight UA933. I was coming back from our annual Friedrich Naumann Stiftung Klausurtagung in Potsdam. I left Potsdam on July 14 with Walter Klitz to spend a few days in Bonn with my family.
Best,
Nico
