Work very early to begin the drive back to Boston. It was so worth it to come home to see GabÉ yesterday. I really enjoyed the drive down. The leaves were really peek in the middle of New Hampshire and I got to Boston before I knew it.

I had a nice surprise waiting for me… Daisy one of the people who works in our building had left me some homemade Salvadoran papusas. They’re made out of Masa and water and are served with this really cool pickled cabbage and red sauce. Really delicious.

Somewhere vegetarian and some head meat… I got to share the meat ones with my friends like Aldo here

Later in the day I got to spend some time with my good friend Ronald who is in from Zürich. We used to joke that we had it “exclusion principle” that prevented us from being in the same country at the same time… I’m glad we were able to violate that today

After that I met my friend David whom I haven’t seen in years . We had a really nice dinner. Midway through our mutual friend Song stopped by for a drink. I’m working with Song on a research project at MIT

I’m giving a talk to a bunch of high school kids early tomorrow morning so I better get to sleep. More tomorrow from Vermont

Nite all, nite Sam
