Photos!!

Let's see if I can get up some of the photos from yesterday's posts -

Here's Dave with Erno Rubik, inventor of "the cube" and George Hart, organizer of the conference we are attending and artist/mathematician who designed the sculpture hanging at the college.



Here we are at the Hungarian lunch at the winery


Here's a photo of more of the lunch


And here's a photo of the winery owner, entertaining us, in more ways than one:



Dave thought it was cool that the instrument has a likeness of the owner's mother-in-law on it.  Great tradition. He thought the person playing might be able to whack it in the face by "accident" a few times when playing too. 


Bottles from the cellar where the tasting part of the tour was.



Some photos from the sculpture park part of the excursion.  It was in an abandoned/used up quarry.






Here's the cathedral at which the sand art installation was located (in the basement).


Here's the artist finishing laying the sand in the last corner.


And here's the performance girl to swirl around and obliterate the designs they spent 5 days laying out on the floor.  


In contrast, here's the sculpture made by conference participants of zometool components, and donated to a school for permanent placement.  But, they may take it apart and make something different, who knows!
