Spanish for Beginners A1 : ¡Vamos! Let's learn the basics!

▪️Join us on Saturday, November 9 and experience the "In the Beginning…Virginia, Along the Trail of Enslaved Africans" cultural tour.

▪️An interactive experience, Along the Trail of Enslaved Africans attendees have the chance to ponder the impact of enslavement on the enslaved as shared in their own words and from their own view.

▪️Participants will gather at Elegba Folklore Society’s Cultural Center where the tour starts. Then we will board a bus to visit the sites along the trail. There will be some walking. Please wear comfortable shoes, and bring a bottle of water. The sites on the trail occur in a wooded area along the river as well as in urban city settings.

▪️From the African arrival point at river's edge to Shockoe Bottom and the sites of holding pens, jails, blocks and African burial ground, interpreters will interweave the narratives of enslaved Africans with the historical record.

We will [explore](https://drive.google.com/file/d/14H2R2cxhWP3QdV3PbhDw2o_zZCth3O9A/view?usp=sharing) the Stanford area and discuss about a half dozen of their outdoor sculptures in addition to the Rodin Sculpture Garden, returning to the starting point. About 6 flat miles. If it is too much for you to keep up with the group (up to 3 miles/hour) it is fine to drop out but please sign out for liability reasons. (We will probably reach the free [Cantor Museum](https://museum.stanford.edu/) \~1:30 PM if you wish to sign out then since we will not be going inside as a group.) Restroom stops at the [Allied Arts Guild](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Allied+Arts+Guild/@37.4414033,-122.1814685,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x808fa4cbb61e7ccf:0x6494155886b16c72!8m2!3d37.4414033!4d-122.1788936!16zL20vMDh2NXIw?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI0MTAyMy4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D) and [Stanford Memorial Church](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Memorial+Church/@37.4267089,-122.1730589,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x808fa4cd006780e5:0x8b120cf83b9f170d!8m2!3d37.4267089!4d-122.170484!16zL20vMDRmeDZj?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI0MTAyMy4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D). I plan to leave the meeting spot at 11:10 AM after attendees have signed the release of liability. I will be wearing a giant, black hat and am not an art expert. If you want to contact me, please do so before I leave home (before 8:30 AM). Check back here after 9 AM the day of the event for updates.

Transit: El Camino Park is next to the Palo Alto Train station for the newly electrified Caltrain.
Pets: Probably not allowed in either the Allied Arts Guild nor Stanford buildings (which we will use for restrooms).
Food: Bring food if you want to eat on the walk. Optional food stop after the walk, possibly cafe Verve.

[Hidden Brain: You 2.0: The Gift of Other People](https://hiddenbrain.org/podcast/you-2-0-the-gift-of-other-people/)
https://hiddenbrain.org/podcast/you-2-0-the-gift-of-other-people/

Are you someone who strikes up a conversation with the person next to you on the train? Or do you keep your eyes fixed on your phone? Do you offer gratitude to friends and family? Or do you assume that they already know how you feel? This week, in the kickoff to our annual You 2.0 series, we talk with psychologist Nicholas Epley about our interactions with other people, and how we can make them more rewarding.

[Hidden Brain: How To Win People Over](https://hiddenbrain.org/podcast/how-to-win-people-over/)
https://hiddenbrain.org/podcast/how-to-win-people-over/

We humans are a social species, and so it’s not surprising that we care a lot about what other people think of us. It’s also not surprising that many of us stumble when we try to manage others’ views of us. This week, organizational psychologist [Alison Fragale](https://www.kenan-flagler.unc.edu/faculty/directory/alison-fragale/) explains why that is, and offers better ways to win friends and influence people.

[Hidden Brain: How Others See You](https://hiddenbrain.org/podcast/mind-reading-how-others-see-you/)
https://hiddenbrain.org/podcast/mind-reading-how-others-see-you/

It’s not easy to know how we come across to others, especially when we’re meeting people for the first time. Psychologist [Erica Boothby](http://www.ericaboothby.com/new-page-3) says many of us underestimate how much other people actually like us. This week, we revisit one of our most popular episodes to look at how certain social illusions give us a distorted picture of ourselves.

A few book club rules to note:

1. Book clubs are popular and we want everyone who wants to participate to have the opportunity so please only sign up for 1 book club per month.
2. Remember to give 2 weeks notice if unable to attend. This allows those on the waiting list to read the book and join the group.
3 As with all of the FFF > 50 Ann Arbor groups, people with 2 no shows/late cancellations within a year will be asked to take a 3 month hiatus from group activities.
