Nijmegen

On Monday I had a great workshop visit at Radboud Universiteit (Nijmegen).

Nijmegen is the oldest city in the Netherlands (Maastricht claims that it’s actually a little older, but either way, both cities are close to 2000 years old). I thought I would catch an early train in so that I could see a bit of the city. I made the train, but unfortunately it was pouring rain when I got there.

So, I skipped the tour. Still, I got fairly wet transferring from the train to the bus and walking to campus. So, I got to present a workshop in wet clothes (my top half was dry thanks to my umbrella, but my shoes and bottom of my pants were pretty wet). First time for that!

The workshop was great though! I got some good feedback on the paper from a diverse audience (econ, finance, and accounting are in one large, combined department there, so all three groups were at the workshop).

I’ll have to go back to see the city with the family sometime it is dry.
