Pretzel Sharing

On the final day of Mike's visit, Kathrin came to see us. Kathrin was a postdoc in the Ryan Lab several years ago, so we know each other from Austin and also from Panama. It was wonderful to see her again, and great to have a mini-lab reunion.

Kathrin and the Wren discovered they have something very important in common - an extreme love of the Bavarian pretzel. Kathrin informed us that where she is living now (about 6 hours away, in northwestern Germany), they do not have great pretzels everywhere the way they do in southern Germany. She wisely stocked up before going home. In this picture Gwendolyn is demonstrating a skill we did not know she had - pretzel sharing.
