Meetings today with ADEC team members Silvina and Jorge were enlightening and helped clarify ADECs objectives and operating procedures. Silvina is an electrical engineer by trade and heads up the Technical Liaison Unit, which covers a large number of industries, from agricultural to electrical to software. Jorge is a very charismatic individual and has a wealth of information about ADECs history and ideas about the agencies future. He has been executive director of ADEC in the past, and recently returned to ADEC in his current role as Manager of New Projects.

I actually remembered to take some pictures of the IBM and ADEC teams hard at work. The first one shows our primary contact and translator Isabel, who I’ve mentioned in previous posts. The second picture is from our meeting with Silvina.

As the title of this blog indicates, I was thrilled to eat a salad for lunch today. My body has been craving vegetables, too much meat and bread based foods the past few days. Most of the additions to my Spanish vocabulary so far have been food related (basil, carrots, and beets). I ordered the salad before looking up all the ingredients, and was very excited when I realized it had beets. I’ve also picked up the occasional work related word from all the documents I have been reading/translating with Google (development, approval, board of directors). Thinking I should start learning some verbs to go along with all those oh so useful nouns.
