New Colleagues

Yesterday we ate in a small restaurant across the street from where we will live. Here is a picture of the snack food they put on the table.
Snack Food
I forgot to take the picture until we had eaten most of it but here's what's on the menu. That is a fried yucca stick, the last one. Much better than a french fry. The purple stuff is an olive-mayonnaise mix. Very nice. The corn is why I took the picture. IT just looked so colourful.

Later that day Andy went to his first departmental meeting. Not the same as New Paltz where we all sit around a table as equals. The chair of the department went to the head of the class and held the floor for the duration. Did I tell you that he is the only full-time faculty member in the department? There is always a reason why things are the way they are.

Afterwards some of us went out for pizza Not bad, very thin crust and like most Peruvian food, very tasty.
Definitely the Oldest There
The woman who has her fingers sticking out of Andy's head is Regina, the assistant for the course he'll be teaching. The others are Juan Carlos, Ernesto, Wilburt, Regina, Graciela and Andy. A lot of Peruvians go to Brazil for grad work. Juan Carlos and Graciela both studied there.
