Bumpy Night to Ensenada


After a eight hour slow sail to Ensenada while we "slept," we arrived in Ensenada. The students are now boarding frought with excitement and fear, Im sure loaded down with far too much luggage. Im frought with uncertainties about classes, which start in two days. The technical details of operating the computer technologies on board are part of the problem; the rest is getting readable copies of texts to students, since we have no course packs printed, only pdf files.

The picture is Dianne lunching with Fil Hearn yesterday. Fil is our Academic Dean, Emeritus Prof of Art and Arch at Pitt.
