On the way to the symposium I got to spend a half day at the beach in Santander

The symposium was in a small village about 1.5 hours by bus from Santander.  Here is the hostel we stayed in for the week.

Some views from the town of La Vega where we were staying.

We had a game night where we played a local version of bowling

One afternoon we went for a hike with spectacular views

Another day we went to tour a massive wave tank located in Santander

Impromptu games of cricket broke out sporadically throughout the week

The Oregon State University alumni

Final feast… quite a spread

All in all a great symposium.
