Petar arrives and joins the family

We passed a few pre-meeting emails but today was the day that Petar and I finally got connected face to face.  Davide and Danny had already seeked him out and had not scared him away!
Once again I got a good one - Petar is a great guy!  He is from Serbia - a small town on the Danube across the river from Romania.
We had the atlas out and were getting totally oriented to all of Petar's spots on the map - and getting early reports on his new adventure in Minnesota.  
As my sixth student in seven years I have fallen in to a bit of a routine.  We had a perfect fall afternoon and took a bit of a tour of the metro.  We finished off the evening with a bbq and lots of laughter and conversation.  Danny, Davide and Patty were able to join us for dinner and had more than enough advice, that comes with upper class experience, to fill the evening. 
Petar loves ice cream and ate enough that he figured he would wake up feeling much heavier in the morning...so I sent him home with leftovers!
