Tom's Travels

On Saturday Jan 10, I left for Brussels to hold a study abroad course there. My colleague Willi and I combined our classes to make 10 students for the course. I arrived Sunday and checked into my usual hotel (Holiday Inn) near the EU Commission buildings. On Monday we started a very intensive 4 days of meetings, tours, presentations and lectures. Altogher we had about 20 adgenda items over hte 4 days. Students had Friday off. I used the day to meet with EU Commission officials to discuss to possibility of a new research project based on the work that we had completed in 2008. On Saturday, I flew back to Missouri to get ready for the Spring term.
