So I started contacting them — because they had actually given me a permit to do this — and I said, "I want to come up and tell you what we found." And for some reason they didn't want me to come, or it was hard to find a time and a place, and it took a while, but finally they said, "Okay, you can come.
По какой-то причине они не сразу согласились, либо для них было трудным найти время и место, это заняло много времени, но наконец они ответили: "Ладно, приезжай, но ты угощаешь всех, кто приедет на семинар".
