Spent the day with family hanging out at this great place we’re renting. Snuck some work in.. but not too much

Diane , gabe and i took a run down to the beach. It was pretty empty

Gabe tried out the kayak

Around 2:30 we met up with patty’s family to play some traditional games they play . There were 10 kids in that family so there are a zillion cousins. It was fun to drop into some of their traditions

One game invoked moving a ping pong ball from cup to cup by filling them with water and blowing the ball when it’s floated high enough

Diane scores the winning point

the second game was about balancing swimming pool ‘noodles’ .

On the way home we saw this iguana… then several others . We also saw a spotted ray (bit my phone had run Olof battery)

Tonight we all met up at Funky Buddha to see all of the relatives

Here’s Pina ,the bride to be . She is so fun and wonderful!

Pina and her brother

Spent much of the day down in Cambridge helping to film a short piece for some friends. Amro, and our filming buddies Udo and Nico.… It was kind of funny. No soundtrack so we had to make up things to talk about. My friend Amro and I had a good deal of fun trying to figure out the most out rages things to say while we were being filmed. Only we will know… Wait… I guess you know now as well 🙂

I also had to say goodbye to my friend Robin who’s been Visit Dean with us from Karlsruhe Germany at the Cambridge lab for the last six weeks. It’s been a really great stay. You brought a lot of fun and skills with you. We hope to return the favor someday!

OK… Got a wake up early for a flight. More tomorrow

Night all, nights Sam

Super busy and super fun day here in Cambridge. Had a great meeting with my friend Robyn who’s been visiting us for six weeks then went over to campus to meet with Josh… An MIT professor is doing amazing work on modeling human hearing.

Around 1 o’clock Jon and Anchar Showed up from Yorktown and we talk to them for a while… After work I had the idea to take a bunch of our team over to see artist asylum. It was a 40 minute walk so I tried to find a restaurant that was halfway. It turns out that our friend Tyler’s All-Star pizza was exactly halfway

After hanging out with Tyler and eating some really excellent food we walked on to artist Asylum. It’s the maker space that we modeled generator off of. It’s been around for a long time and is really a great model of water maker space could be. My friend lars is the executive director there and looks like he’s doing an excellent job!

My friends really loved art asylum… I’m hoping to find us a project here.

OK time for bed. More tomorrow.

Nite all, nite Sam
