jayYesterday dangerpudding and I both had our IAC presentations. She wasn't used to this kind of environment, had an inattentive chair *and* audio problems, and still did well. Mine was redone on the fly, but I'd prepared for a 25-minute instead of a 20-min talk, and had to hurry up towards the end. Both audiences were 20-25 people.
Afterwards, we went out withtenacious_snail for a celebratory dinner in the center of Valencia. :)

We rented a 4-BR/2BA apartment in Valencia for E140/day, which despite rent and laundry troubles was still in a convenient location and spacious. And had this nice sunrise view out of our 8th floor window... |

| Post-presentation celebration After successful presentations at the IAC by both dangerpudding and I, we went out to celebrate. :) We tried arroz negro (paella with squid ink) with baby octopi... |
 |
| Sarah's talk Here is Sarah during her IAC talk-portion... she also had a hang out by the poster period, later. Despite inattention by the session chair (right) and an audio problem, she did very well (with an audience of 23). |
 |
Here's the Thursday morning plenary talk -- about Rio Tinto as a Mars analog site. It was good timing as a reference later in the day for both my talk and Sarah's. Ricardo Parra (from our MARTE project) is in the panel. |

| Dinner with Tony Dinner Wednesday night with TG (from Ames) and tenacious_snail and I... more paella, plus a salad with smoked salmon... and spaghetti-like baby eels. ;) |
 |
The IAC 2006 site... the closest building is the science museum where most events and all sessions are held. |
