Yesterday I attended the Rensselaerswijck Seminar in Albany, NY. That was so much fun!
A very friendly crowd and interesting topics. I met a number of people I've been wanting to chat with for a while.
During the day there were presentations around the topic of New Netherland, the Dutch colonies in the 17th century in New York State. In the evening there was a reception and an Indonesian dinner. Later I went to a bar with three fun researchers (French, Dutch American and American) and we stayed till late.
Today I plan to visit the 1609 exhibition in the museum here, perhaps the Old Church and then travel back to New York LaGuardia where my flight departs at 7:45 pm. It's been a fun week but I'm looking forward to be together again.
