I arrived in Frankfurt today. Upon arriving, I ate a great European breakfast, took a cat nap, strolled through the university area, set up my stand at the book fair, and enjoyed casual and work conversation with colleagues at a local beer hall. Now I’m exhausted and look forward to getting a good night’s sleep.

There are many appointments ahead for tomorrow and the night will end with a good reception and a tasty dinner at a Mediterranean restaurant.

One bummer, I forgot the cord to connect my camera to my computer. The first causality of my packing!
