I actually ended up letting the students out early, as I had reserved the afternoon for an exam and we changed it to project plus take-home. Nobody complained about getting out early. The project presentations took up the morning, and were good, and fun. It was a nice way to end the class, and several students came up afterwards to say how valuable that was compared to just more lectures. Of course, I
am still grading them, so I'm not sure how much of that is the "suck up" factor. One student will be done with his degree after writing 2 theses of his choice and has decided he really wants to do one on international consumer behavior. He's asked me if it's OK to write for advice and readings and I was flattered and happy to oblige.
It was an absolutely gorgeous afternoon and Judy and I went to her favorite place -- Tiroler Bauernkeller -- for a late lunch. They have an all-you-can-eat buffet and I
do not recommend that if you're trying to keep your figure in Tirol. But I didn't take my advice, and it was good, and my stomach still hurts 7 hours later.
We said our "good byes" to our friends at MCI and spent the afternoon walking, sitting at cafes, and just enjoying the sun and the warmest weather we've had since arriving almost 2 weeks ago. After a much
lighter dinner, we returned to the room to catch up on blogging, upload pictures, and simply sit on the porch enjoying the sunset. One last late-afternoon shot, from our balcony:
