The patron saint of the School of Engineering at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile - Who knew? http://www.ing.puc.cl/esp/infgeneral/ingenieria_uc/san_agustin.html
The days leading up to San Agustin's Day (August 28th in case you didn't know) are days of celebration at in the engineering school. This includes a mass, some special lunches and talks and also a dinner and dance for faculty (and spouses) this evening. Rob was invited and I said "why not?" At the time I didn't realize that it included a dance - I resisted buying a short dress for the occasion when I was shopping with Renee - I'll go with some American J.Jill staples. It is apparently an event similar to Notre Dame's Presidents Dinner when faculty achievements and honors are presented (except the dancing part - I am not sure that I want to see Father Jenkins do the hustle).
The clincher is that it is called for 9:00 pm and probably doesn't really start until 9:30. This is very typical of evening events that include dinner here including dinner at people's houses. My understanding is that it may go until 2:00 but that we can somewhat politely bow out at midnight. This is a case of "when in Rome just be yourself or else suffer the next day." Since we probably won't leave home until 9:00 (past Elisa's bedtime) and since the other two are securely in the apartment we are going to attempt to have Renee as the babysitter. We'll see how it goes but will have a cell phone ready.....
