| Well I finally made it to Belgium. The Atlanta flight was delayed almost 4 hours as well... Also due to rain. Then I ended up in a middle seat but someone switched with me. Even with the aisle and no real sleep last night I was not really able to sleep for more than 15 minutes at a time before I woke up and tried to shift around. In any case I survived and arrived exhausted but in one piece. I made it to the meeting just in time for lunch and was still able to make the afternoon sessions. A number of really good talks. |

| Finally got sleep but still no running. Up at 7am for breakfast and then meetings solid from 8am until 3:30pm. That was followed by a group tour and some sightseeing. My talk and poster presentations were both today and they both went very well. This is definitely one of the most relevant and useful meetings I attend. After dinner I caught up with an old friend who is now faculty in Germany and we closed two bars with his students. By 3am I finally made it to my room which was a perfect time to Skype home before hitting the pillow. |

| Ouch. Had to be up at 7am so the 4am bedtime was a little tough. Then more meetings from 8am until about 1pm. Overall it was a very good meeting with a number of spectacular presentations. More importantly I was able to get my face out there and also make a number of connections. A couple that I think may lead to additional job interviews... After the meeting was completely over I ate lunch and took a nap. Then I went and ran around the grounds of the Chateau de la Hulpe (http://chateaudelahulpe.wallonie.be/apps/spip/). It has actually rained on and off the entire time here and though the weather behaved itself for me the humidity was a definite shock to the system. The trails are amazing and I saw a number of ravens, horses, water fowl, really large snails, rabbits and even a pheasant. Avg. 7:41 HR 154
