September 25th, 2007: England (2)

A few more photos from the conference in Torquay. These pictures were taken the night of the conference banquet, which was held at the Powderham Castle. We had a nice dinner and then a live band started playing and everyone started dancing - it is always amusing to watch several hundred organic geochemists attempting to dance. Francien, Angela and I thought it was funny that all 3 of us ended up wearing almost the same outfit to the banquet, so we took this photo.
At our dinner table...

View from the dancefloor...
This is the Powderham Castle, where the banquet was held. We got a short tour of the castle before the meal. The castle was located about 40 minutes outside of Torquay.
And this is what Torquay looks like. It is sort of a strange town - it's definitely a tourist town so it was sort of a strange setting for a conference.
