I thought the bass player looked like Daniel V. from Project Runway; Tim thought he looked like PeeWee Herman. Whatever, Tim enjoyed his birthday present.
On a completely different note, Jack helped me do laundry yesterday. He loves socks!

After lunch we went on the bus tour out to the launch gantry and Saturn V Center. We had a bus driver with a political score to settle. He's on a rampage about how our grandchildren are going to pay for the New Horizons spacecraft. Apparently it's going to start an interplanetary war with the people that live in the "undiscovered galaxy just past Pluto." No joke, this guy went on about it for more than 5 minutes!
So we had a nice and very eventful visit with our friends from Oklahoma.
On Friday we visited some hotels to scope them out for the conference as well. But the most exciting part of the trip was on Saturday. We met with 3 students from the Polytechnic University. They are interested in helping with the conference. Yay! They also showed us around the city. What awesome tour guides! We learned so much about the city just from a few hours with them. Here is a picture of Tim with the students in front of a weird pastry shop. It only sells this milk-like drink that doesn't taste like anything we've ever tasted and the pastries that you dunk into the milk-like drink. Tim is holding up one of the pastries.
The most exciting part about the visit for me was knowing that we would be coming back to this beautiful city. I can't wait! I'll leave you with an adorable shot of me and Tim.
