And the conference begins...

Went to opening ceremony and a talk by one of my favorite scholars last night in an outdoor amphitheater at the Rethymno Fortress. We skipped the wine reception in favor of crepes since there were far more people in attendance than we had anticipated.

In a few hours I will head to the conference site and sit in panels all day, which I actually find quite interesting, but it does signal the end of lazy days for a bit. My presentations are on Saturday and Sunday, so I can at least sit back and relax a bit today. I'll check back in and let you know how it all goes.

PS-- Another sunburn... all new spots
