Bringing the Marianas to Munich

Just wrapping up at the conference on Transpacific Americas in the unlikely but beautiful city of Munich. Attended by a truly global roster of academics - from Europe, north and South America, Asia, and the Caribbean, though surprisingly no Pacific Islanders! - it's re-immersed me in the world of the Pacific (and the German I studied so long ago in school).

My first meal in Munich: Nuremberger mit bier! (So long gluten free diet...)

At the foot of the Odeonsplatz - which I'm pretty sure was open to cars the last time I was here (15 years ago). Look at all the bikes!
