September 1-8th 2007 - Work trip to Italy

Conference in Bellagio, Italy on "Conservation of plant genetic resources in the face of climate change" - no apparent irony in the choice of villa on Lake Como as a place for a meeting on global food security, but then again no-one was complaining. Saw Toby and Cralan and Fern/Crash in Amsterdam on the way out. Went to Cinque Terre with David and Ellen afterwards. Pretty sweet. Some pics.
