in Barcelona

Took another 3 mile run at 6:30 AM, followed by a big hotel buffet breakfast.  Then took the tram to the conference, missing the 30 minute walk.  Listened to talks all day long, including some good ones.  Joined my former office mate Dr. Jim Stewart, originally from Alton, IL, and for many years at Sandia National Labs and his friend Prof. Roger Ghanem of USC for dinner. We took the subway into the old medieval quarter.  It was full of people and festive things.  We sat down for a fine relaxing outdoor meal with tapas, paella, and sangria.  Some photos below.
