FRIDAY AFTERNOON: we gather for lunch at 12 noon,
at the Institute for Advanced Study, for those who
are early. From 2 to 5, some of us will be in a
Kira board meeting, the others can just enjoy the
campus and the woods.
FRIDAY EVENING: at 6 pm, we gather at the Institute for
Advanced Study, in the main building, which is called
Fuld Hall, and has a small clock tower on top. See the
main IAS web site (
http://www.ias.edu/) for directions.
We can start introducing ourselves there, in the comfortable
lounge in Fuld Hall, and by 6:30 pm we will all pile into
the few cars that are available, to go to a restaurant of
our choice: we can decide on the spot what kind of food we
prefer and make a reservation by phone.
I had hoped that we could meet at the Princeton Junction
train station, as I have done with arriving groups for theo
last 25 (!) years, but alas, the Good Friends restaurants
has indeed closed, very recently; it checked it out today.
One more "end of an era" . . . Those who arrive by train,
do NOT take the side train to Princeton station, since that
takes longer and there is often no taxi available there.
Instead, get of at Princeton Junction station, on the main
line of New Jersey Transit, between New York and Trenton.
If you arrive Newark Airport, you can just take the monorail
from your terminal directly to Newark Airport Station, on
that same train line.
SATURDAY MORNING: we will start at the Instituted for
Advanced Study, with a simple breakfast served at 9:00 am.
That will be in the Dilworth Room, which is adjacent to
the Dining Room. If you ask the person in Fuld Hall,
at the reception near the front door, you will get
instructions as to how to get there. Or try to find
it yourself: walk through Fuld Hall, exit at the back
side, turn right, walk up to the large building there,
enter the first door you see, a bit to the right of your
main path, walk straight, go down the stairs, walk to
the large wooden closed doors in front of you, then
turn right and walk all the way to the end of the
corrider, which is called the Dilworth Room. In case
of doubt, follow the sound of lively banter from a
gaggle of guardians.
REST OF SATURDAY: to be determined on the spot, Saturday.
SUNDAY MORNING: to be determined Saturday afternoon.
