Hey there! It’s been a while. We finally got around to running all the numbers and making the time to write something up about last summer’s “COVID-19 Summer #3” cross-country road trip to visit family, see some more of the United States, and help Hadley move into her new place in the Boston area.

We decided to spend our last full day in Germany wandering around the Deutsches Museum Munich – which was so huge (with a total exhibition space of 66,000 square meters!) and comprehensive as to nearly be overwhelming.
