More pictures from Ghent

I've got a lot of pics, but it has taken me forever to get around to posting them. And most of them are of old buildings... (Duh!) But here are some pictures.


This fortified me for presenting my paper... (No pics of me--I ate too much.)


Guess what's special about these shoes...


Gravensteen, a 12th-century castle in the middle of Ghent. Taken from a tour boat on the Leie River. Gravensteen has an (ahem) interesting collection of torture instruments on display. There was one where they'd strap someone to a wooden bed and put his meals on a table, just slightly out of reach. (Someone should have done that to me while I was there...) Posted by Hello

Wow! The food looks great. I admire your will power, I never would have left the table.

Did your Univ fund the paper delivery?

I got an NSC grant (or should it be "a NSC grant?") for going. I'm hoping to see the money soon...

You ordered those shoes for me, right? Yummmy...and cute...all at once...

Yeah, but not real practical. If you eat 'em first, you can't wear 'em, and if you wear 'em first, you probably won't want to eat 'em...
