The mountainous background was stunning, especially as the sun was setting.  It was good to see them, and to join them in celebrating their commitment.

I ended up sitting with friends, despite some mixup that left me without a seating card (whoops), probably because I RSVPed reaaallly late =)  I danced a bit with Barbara, but had a serious headache, so I went out to the car to lay down for a bit.  Ended up being more than a bit, but I came back somewhat refreshed.<\/p>\n<p>I met a few interesting people.
