Achtung - Achtung: Special Report ! ! !

After this morning´s report, I felt I was finished with my reports, but complacency set in. I was beginning to think... hey, I´ve been in the promised land so many times, there is nothing more to experience. So I went back to the room and decided I needed a reading from "The Book According to Larry". After reading a few verses, it was apparent that I did not know everything I needed to know. The following describes the experience that Larry induced, and is dedicated to Paulaner Girl.

The Book describes Paulaner Brauhaus as "a local microbrewery", so I said to myself (self I said), off we go. Two U-Bahn stops from Marian Platz and I was there. How did we miss it after all these years? A great little place, with the beer brewed on-site. Indeed a micro-brewery. It is amazing how fresh a Hefe Weissen is after being drawn directly from the tank. I think I have a picture to prove it. I say "think" because after one litre of Maibock (7.5%) and one litre of Hefe Weissen (6%), I don´t really recall. All I do know is I will gleefully escort anyone back who cares to experience this wonderful place; still using copper kettles.

Well, extraction is still scheduled for "oh my god it´s early tomorrow (7:10A local time). According to Traci, this is the "butt crack of dawn". Actually, with the current time zone, the butt crack of dawn actually occurs around 5:30A local time. I´ll be at the airport by then.

So, looking forward to a rendezvous with Einfart tomorrow at the arrival point.

Just remember, approximately 4 months and 5 days until the cult arrives in the promised land.

Auf Wiedersehen.
