Today was a typical work day on the road.

I woke to a cold, cloudy day. After a nice breakfast I had a nice cold walk to work. The temperatures were only in the mid 30’s. Is it really May?

After a long morning in the classroom it was time for an interesting lunch. This is a fish and pasta dish. On the weekly menu it was listed as salmon, but it was a white fish. Not sure where the disconnect is, but I have seen before other fish being called salmon in German. What we think of as salmon in the US is lachs in German.

My course ended in the afternoon and the students scattered to the winds, heading home or off to other training courses in Munich or Oberkochen. In the evening I decided to head to a nice little Italian restaurant that I knew had good pizza.

On the way back to the hotel I stopped at the grocery store for a few items. I needed to buy some chocolate for my neighbor and also a few snacks. I also discovered a nice aisle of tea. I decided that a couple unique flavors needed to come home with me.

As I approached the checkout I saw a freezer full of ice cream treats and decided to try an Intense Dark Magnum bar. If you like a nice bitter dark chocolate, this is the Magnum bar for you. I really enjoyed this one.

It also makes me look forward to my trip next month to Israel where I will be enjoying a few Magnum bars on the weekends away from the dig.
