competing and playing

The actual competition was today...

Advisors got to sit in the judging room silently while the team presented and answered questions. 

(Notes: One judge seemed intent on pressing for industry prospects while our students were altruistically focussed on conservation efforts. Our proposal emphasized our local expertise, and they wanted to hear more about global application--something to remember for next time.)

We took off to see come iconic sights in the evening. I've done "le tour" before, so I elected to sit at a cafe with my book and a pot of peppermint tea.

Sounds cozy.

Sigh. I applaud your students for being altruistic and good stewards of their community; however, it's true that our world now is intently focused on global initiatives. We are all connected, for better or worse.

I'm glad you found a place to relax and let your students shine independently. I think that was important.

Paris is the perfect spot for sitting quietly, I think. I’ve been a busy tourist every time I’ve gone. Next time my goal is to slow down.

easy like Sunday mornings

Life was easy today. Being honest so I don't get more undue credit. We stocked up on food for the week, and then... headed for the beach...
