This morning we departed Munich and took a high speed train, reaching speeds of nearly 300, kph to Frankfurt where we switched trains and continued on to Mainz. Several of the group gathered around a laptop to watch “The Sound of Music” bringing home yesterday’s tour of Salzburg. Some are making last minute plans for extended stays in Europe while other’s talk about opportunities for us to stay connected after we get home.

When we reached Frankfurt, we had 11 minutes to get from one end of the largest terminal in Germany to the other in order to catch our next train. It seems perhaps that we have learned something about German efficiency though. After a highly organized deployment of our strategy we got to the next platform with seven minutes to spare.
This evening was our farewell dinner. We gathered at the Eisgrub-Brau, a micro brewery that was formerly a storage facility for ice. Before WWII ice was taken off the Rhine in the winter and stored in this facility so that locals would be able to refrigerate their fresh food year round. We were taken on a tour of the brewing facility and then enjoyed yet another authentic German meal. After dinner Hanna, Rustom, and Peter made some informal presentations and we headed out for a night on the town led by Peter including dancing at a popular club.
