The Last Spargel











After the presentations, the tradition is for all present and former ASG fellows to go to a formal Spargel lunch. Our last opportunity to enjoy this delicacy was also partly sad and partly a relief. It was wonderful to see our hosts again, and also to hear the travel report of the European ASG fellows who returned from their trip to North America just as we were leaving for Europe. At the end of the afternoon, RT and SS were presented with their official ASG neckties, and I got an ASG scarf. Then we took a picture together with our European counterparts.

  2. Thankfully, no...it was good old vanilla.
    By the way, the blog will still run for a day or two...I have a few final thoughts on the whole experience, plus I finished 2 books on the plane :)
