International Psychogeriatrics Meeting, Santiago de Compostela

The conference was fantastic, from the opening speeches in a very old part of the medical school at Santiago deCompostela, right through to our own late-life anxiety symposium on the very last day!

The old medical equipment was on display in the hallways - a bit creepy really!

The two birds are a jackdaw (black) and a wagtail (small and cute).

Travel to Santiago de Compostela

Today drove with my colleague Lia to Santiago de Compostela, where I pretty much gave a talk about 5 minutes after we arrived!  Fortunately, was great to go back to this charming hotel, with many historical features carefully preserved.
