I'm writing the remainder of these posts from South Bend, after my return as the Corfu internet was too slow for reliability.
The meeting began on Wednesday. I delivered two lectures, and I was co-author on two others delivered by my colleague Sam Paolucci. I also chaired a session. I think the talks went fine. After the talks, a short walk from the conference venue yielded the view below.

A group of about ten of us then commissioned two cabs and a private car in search of sea food. We were successful. The restaurant did one thing well: fresh seafood. Vegetables, bread, atmosphere were clearly second fiddle. But we were strongly encouraged to visit the kitchen and consider in some detail our sea food choices. My decision to split a sea bass with two other colleagues was made soon after the viewing below.

The bass was great, and we retraced our taxi drive back to the hotel around 11:00 PM.
