Back from lunch where we had a chicken and mushroom quiche which was excellent and flan for dessert.  I saw the events manager and talked to him for a bit and found out that macon is really beef sliced very thin and fried.  I would have sworn it was some form of pork but he explained to me that they have quite a few Jewish students who do not eat pork so this is a good alternative.  Each meal is served cafeteria style. Since we are in a school that houses 80 students which are fed every meal every day of the week, this is the most efficient way to serve meals. (Can you imagine having 80 mathematicians under one roof -- good grief!)
Our banquet is tonight which should be interesting.  Urszula and I hired some Zulu dancers for the entertainment so it should be interesting.  The ladies who work at AIMS snicker and giggle every time this is mentioned which I am not sure is a good thing or a bad thing.  I'll let you know on that one.
Yesterday afternoon I was in the apartment which I think I told you is across the street from the beach where I was people watching.

This is a picture of the apartment which is taken from the top of the stairs as you enter.  Not too shabby, eh?  Anyway, some of the people coming out of the ocean and getting ready to leave are not really too modest and will strip off their wet bathing suits or their wetsuits (that they wear for surfing) in front of everyone, towel off and put on their dry clothes (and, of course, I peeked).  Modesty isn't a real strong virtue in the area apparently.
More later...
