One of the reasons for holding the Minkowski meetings on the Black Sea coast is to combine a research meeting and a vacation (the resort Albena is a true paradise). To get an idea of how time is spent outside the conference room, here are some pictures of the free discussions at the Fourth Spacetime Conference held in the resort Golden Sands (~15 km south of Albena) in June 2016.
