…and a little play. In an amazing environment at the Vila Vita. I’ll spare you the details of the conference – a very nice two-day affair with just the right combination of talks, discussion, and breaks, though it was interesting and useful, and [as always] a great source of contacts and [not as always] inspiration and thought-provoking. Having guests from all over Europe definitely made it better.

sign of the times – one of my colleagues was unable to attend the conference 😦
fortunately made a quick recovery … on the beach
playing in the pool adjacent to the front entrance of the resort
lunch!
the grounds are spectacular
as are the vistas
yep. what more can I say
escaped to the beach for a bit after a long day
poolside dinner at the B&G restaurant, nice
this guy was great

end of conference reception – thanks, everyone!
now on to the beach
not crowded 🙂 so nice
huh I see the furniture is in the pool again
yet another poolside lunch – I could get used to this, and I did
sweet! – I [hope] I’ll be back

Goodbye Vila Vita, goodbye Porches, goodbye Portugal … it’s been great. Tomorrow morning it’s an early flight to Amsterdam!
