(We had to do some reshuffling of our schedule because Vice-President Joe Biden came to Dublin and was going to many of the same places we had been hoping to go to ourselves on the same days, consequently Chris finished her work one day early so we could work around his. TCD was very accommodating for Chris.)
So as Chris was finishing up office work and prepping for her talk, Rick spent the morning at the laudromat getting things cleaned and ready for our next leg of our adventure: Scotland on Sunday. When Rick finished he set off wandering around town listening to some of the many street musicians. Here's one ...
Meanwhile, Chris brought her colleague Rico to see the Book of Kells and the Long Room. They followed up with a lunch at the University Commons with many of the other faculty, some of who wore their regalia. Chris and Rico had a great time.
Speaking of Rico (as I promised to update you), his clothes at this time still had not yet shown up thus forcing him to go shopping that afternoon in order to have clothes for the evening discussion. After he purchased some new clothes, his clothes finally showed up almost two days late. (Now he has to bring his newly purchased clothes back.)
By 6:30 pm, the panel discussion was ready to go. The panel included Lorraine Leeson (our host), Rico Peterson, Robert Lee, and our Chris Monikowski. It was very well attended by several academics, interpreters, and members of the Deaf community. It was also video streamed to more than 40 other places. Here are a couple of pictures of the panel discussion.
Following the panel discussion, a group of at least a dozen people who attended the discussion went out for a few pints 🍻 carrying on the discussion.
It was another long day -- especially for Chris -- but another good one! ☘
