Arriving in Munich was like being home. it was a beautiful fall day as I rode the bis to the Munich marrriot where I stayed so many times

 

I grabbed a quick nap then  headed over to the IBM center. Even the graffitti was familiar 

Being back in the IBM center was really nice but strange.. it was very quiet  as covid was sill strong here.. also the places mission has changed quite a bit.. what hasn’t changed was the warm spirit of all my friends who still work there

 

I got to catch up with several old

 

.. John  and Nadia in particular

 

I got to go on a tour of the center with a group of women engineers.. then gave a talk for them.. which was fun !

After my talk.. I took the UBahn downtown to meet old friends for a sort of 2nd retirement parts at Bratwirst Glokhe !  It was SOOOOO great seeing everyone !

Saying goodbye again was pretty hard. here’s Nadja on her train

I had to leave the hotel at 6:30 the next morning.. I felt every beer I drank the night before..

 

THanks to all my wonderful Munch friends for such a great short visit.. I lreally, really. really loved seeing you all !
