Goodbye Genoa

My fellowship at CNR IMATI-Ge finished last Friday. Thus, on Saturday morning I was packing and in the afternoon embarking on a ferry to Barcelona, from where I rode to Lisbon.

I want to thank everybody at the Shape Modeling Group for the way they welcomed and supported me: it was a pleasure to work with you, guys.

Waiting, with other motorcyclists, to went on board.

Godbye Genova.

I have took a few days off to spent with my family here in Genoa. Now they returned home and I'm back to work. Nevertheless, there were a short but very good vacations, where we had lots of fun. At least my son enjoyed everything. Specially the children's race track at Corso Italia.

Cold front but pleasant view

During the last few days a cold front hit Italy, making the thermometers show unusually low temperatures for this time of the year, together with strong winds. Despite off all the problems and inconvenience created by this bad weather, I am enjoying pretty much the pleasant view from my office at IMATI-Ge, where I'm currently working with the Shape Modelling Group.

In the first two weeks of December, I've been in Genova (Italy) to attend the AIM@SHAPE final workshop and the 2nd International Conference on Semantics and digital Media Technologies (SAMT 2007). Besides I visited the Shape Modelling Group at CNR IMATI-Ge, were I'm planning to work for three months in the beginning of next year.
