End of the workshop and then registration for the conference in the evening. Registration is always good—drinks and food and getting to catch up with lots of people. Found Gareth and Tom, my collaborators for the project that I am presenting this week and headed down to the town hall where the reception was held…An absolutely stunning building. As Gareth, a Londoner said, buildings like this only survive when you give in during the war….Saw lots of people, chatted a lot, and then went to dinner with Gareth, Tom, Jay Melosh, and his wife. Had a very nice prisciutto salad and realized other than the 2 croissants I had grabbed at the bakery on the first morning I was here, it was really the first time food wasn’t provided for me this week, or bought from a store.
Tomorrow (or today as I write this) is Bastille day in France—the equivalent of their independence day. My plan is to work—yee haw! Well, for the morning anyway. Gareth and I will then walk a bit, if weather permits, and then sit and have some drinks and catch up for a bit. There’s supposed to be all sorts of celebrations this evening with fireworks and the such, which would be quite nice to see.
