Well, that's over. The meeting ended at lunchtime; I spent a pleasant if warm afternoon wandering the streets of the old town, and later had a pleasant dinner at yet another outdoor restaurant. Now I just have to pack -- I hope I can fit most of the souvenir loot into the conference bag, but I probably shouldn't put the heavy chunk of glass in there -- and wake up to get to the station at the crack of dawn tomorrow. (I didn't go wild in the souvenir department; mostly postcards and soap, and a 100g bag of lavender. I did treat myself to three pretty but rather pricey glass beads at a craft store I stumbled on this afternoon, but those won't take up much space.)
Aix is a very vertical-format sort of place, with its narrow streets of four-storey buildings.
I shall probably not be around here much for the next week and change; after I leave here the next chance at bandwidth is likely to be the Chicago airport on Saturday week. I'm hoping there'll be some mild hiking in my not too distant future. Also naps.
