Let the games begin!  All of our mathematicians have invaded the town of Muizenberg.  According to one of the AIMS people, our group comes from 5 continents!  PRETTY COOL, EH?  I have been enjoying meeting everyone I've been dealing with for months -- Rene and Faduow (SP?) from AIMS as well as Clair Timlin who was our main housing coordinator.  To bring 60+ plus people from all over to a place few have been, and make all of these arrangements, was a massive headache for these people at times but they did an excellent job.  For some reason, a couple of the people I met last night thought that I was from South Africa and were surprised that I was from the USA.  I found that interesting because every email I sent had my office title and address at SIUE at the bottom.  Just goes to prove that people, not even mathematicians, read what you send them.  I also had a man who was originally from Israel and now teaches in Minnesota tell me that I have a "lovely southern accent."  Go figure!
Anyway, sessions are now going on and no disasters at present.
More to come.
