The Very Nimbus Diary of zorac, Day Nine

Sunday was the symposium's closing morning. The last event was the charity auction over brunch - we only caught the tail end of it, but a few of the items went for really quite impressive prices. We said a lot of goodbyes, and there was much hugging and taking of photos.

In the afternoon, we made our way over to DisneyQuest - home to neat interactive games. Among other things, we got to don VR helmets to fight comic-book villains with a lightsaber or fly a magic carpet, paddle a raft through a virtual jungle, pilot a multi-legged rescue vehicle on an alien planet and do battle with the Pirates of the Caribbean. I also got to play on a bunch of classic arcade machines - the original Space Invaders, Asteroids, Pac-Man etc.

In the evening, there was cheesecake - and packing.
