Back in Europe
I'm back in Europe. Yay!
I was just at a logic conference in Bern for a week. It was a lot of fun, and there were some good talks. The city is beautiful. We went swimming in the Aare. I was scared to death, although I think most people don't find it very scary. The current is extremely fast, and the water was freezing (actually 62 degrees).
Now I'm in Ghent at Tim's house. Tim's at work, so I'm here alone with his cat Mathilda. She doesn't like to be alone, so she keeps me company. Tonight we're going to a vegan all-you-can eat buffet for Tim's mom's birthday. Last night we went to a "frietkot" (a place with fries) and got veggie burgers with pineapple on them, and fries, of course. I made such a huge mess eating my burger. Tim made fun of me.
We also played Super Mario Galaxy last night, which is quite fun. And we played two board games (Puerto Rico and Bang) and watched the movie Penelope. Christina Ricci is so gorgeous, even with a pig's nose.
I'm also practicing my Dutch. Most of the Dutch I say has something to do with cats. But then again, so does most of what I think.
