In short,
one of the best conferences I've ever attended. Incredibly stimulating and enjoyable: also, they treated us like kings and queens! (Unfortunately I came down with a sinus infection that turned into a chest cold, I was laboring with it the following week also and passed it on to B., but this is perhaps just the reality of international travel for me). Good times with friends old and new, including a dinner with Claude R. and co. at
Gee's, sundry meals and drinks with
a remarkable former student of mine and generally lavish hospitality. Here are some highlights:
We left Sunday after the final plenary talk (missing the college wine-tasting, alas, not to mention the staged reading of
Irene!): traveled by car to LHR, where we killed some hours in the Aer Lingus lounge (reciprocal privileges with IcelandAir, which gives lounge access even with the Economy Comfort fare).
And thence to Iceland!
