On Friday morning I make my way along Kosygin Street to
the Vernadsky Institute
|
|
|
Where the proceedings are opened by Academician Galimov
|
|
Greg Michael and Augustine Chicaro joined me for
lunch in the Institute caffeteria.
|
|
|
Following the afternoon presentations, the lecture room was
transformed with the delivery of drinks
|
|
and plenty of food, into the traditional symposium buffet.
|
|
|
Jim Head and Sasha Basilevski presiding over the proceedings
|
|
Lyosha and Misha, from Sternberg Institute,
enjoying the celebrations.
|
|
|
At the end of the meal the candles are lit
|
|
for the celebration of the 30th Anniversary of
the Vernadsky-Brown Microsymposium.
|
|
|
After the Buffet, Heinz, Augustine,
Peter and myself decide that it is too
early to return to the hotel, so we go in search of
some place to spend the rest of the evening. Heinz
wanted something more respectable than the dodgy looking
stalls by the side of the road, so we ended up at what
turned out to be a Pizza resturant that sold the most
expensive beer we encountered in Moscow.
