Tonight was a garden party for the new faculty at the provost's house in Maadi.
His house has quite the garden, and over 100 people easily fit along with
a string quartet and an impressive spread of food (and ice cream).
It was great to see again the other newcomers we met during orientation
and exchange stories of our first week on the job. Everything at AUC
is so well done, and I don't believe they could do anything to make us
feel more welcome or valued.
I had a nice picture of the party, but unfortunately it seems my camera
fell out of my pocket on the taxi ride home. I don't expect I'll ever see
it again, but if someone turns it on, they'll see my name and phone number
as the first picture, so you never know...
In any case, this will probably be my last journal entry for a while.
