We followed due precedence by having extreme fluctuation in the tail end of our trip. First, to some personal disappointment, we cut out Salzburg in exchange for Nürnberg. Next, to more disappointment, we had to cut Nürnberg, where we would have met my friend Lisa, as she happened to be traveling through Germany at the same time.
Instead, we had an absolutely superb time at the Weihenstephan Freibierfest, more than making up for both disappointments.1
Munich is always a great city to visit. We had an extraordinarily leisurely attitude about it. Nothing at all planned except for going to a fabulous vegan restaurant (Kopfeck). No sights to see because we saw them last time. No pictures to take because the camera battery died and I didn't seize any chances to recharge it.
The leisurely schedule was helpful on a number of levels, but mostly because Kevin's anxieties about the following week were quickly growing; he had a lot to figure out for the time in between my departure and the start of his studies in one week.
Foremost, he would have to deal with the excruciating sadness of not having me around.2 Then there were some logistics about where he'd go / where he'd sleep for the next week. So we made Coffee Fellows Internet Lounge our home in Munich.3
We met some interesting characters and had some good times.
1. Both Salzburg and Nürnberg will be in our next trip
2. I expect Kevin to add a footnote here to (dis)qualify this claim, so this is merely a preemptive footnote.
3. Including some stories about the toilet-seatless toilet, which we'll save as an in-person story
