Today is not business!
A quick update from the Leteem Sleep Hostel in lovely Nürnberg. A small group of us came here for the weekend to start of our travels in Europe. The trains ran smooth and we got into Nürnberg a little after noon. We explored the city for a while and stopped in the church of St. Sebald, which I didn't know was a member of the Community of the Cross of Nails--a center for reconciliation like the Chapel back at Valpo. That was a cool thing to be there and see the same nails that we have back at school. In the evening, we went to München to meet up with some other Reutlingers who were having dinner at the Hofbrauhaus. Three of us sat with some businessmen from Tokyo. They asked us what we were doing and Europe and we asked them the same. We were able to converse in broken English for much of the night. At one point, one of the businessmen pointed to his beer and said with a smile, "Today is not business!" We all laughed.I keep hoping to have pictures available soon. Keep your fingers crossed!
Bis später!

What a cool thing...going all that way just to find someone else in "the community" at St. Sebald. Your experience at the Hofbrau Haus only confirms my suspicion that the best diplomacy is accomplished over beer and food. Question: what does "bis spater" mean?
