Rome is HOT!

Saturday, June 24th, 2006

Liz and I have spent the better part of the day wandering around Rome, and have the blisters and such to show for it. We’re both doing well and looking forward to the cousins coming tomorrow.

If anyone expecting work from me is reading this (hi ;), I plan to locate some wifi and get most of it done tomorrow. Expect some e-mail soon!

Success! GO Morocco is complete.

Friday, June 23rd, 2006

I just arrived in London from Casablanca, and I’ll be on to Rome in just a few minutes.

The GO Morocco trip was a spectacular success, exceeding my very high expectations in every way. It was an experience that I will never forget.

I am really looking forward to telling you all about it. Until then!

Morocco

Wednesday, June 14th, 2006

I’m in Morocco! Our house is absolutely lovely. It’s like a palace on the beach. There will be pictures. Lots of pictures!
The rest of our team arrives tonight, so Mehdi and I are preparing for them. We bought a bunch of food and office supplies and are getting ready to get back to work. I miss you all, and I’ll be in touch soon.

Prague, the remix

Tuesday, June 6th, 2006

Last night we took the late train (6:33pm to 10:35pm) from Vienna to Prague. We ended up with a compartment to ourselves, which was wonderful. The country here is picturesque, especially with the sun setting. Imagine gently rolling green hills, with ornate churches, and small villages off in the distance. Of course, there is quite a bit of communist-era cement block architecture in the Czech Republic, and it was interesting to see some of that.

We’re off to do more touristy things today. And if the weather holds, eat yummy czech food and take photos.

Cesky Krumlov

Imagine a wonderful old town, with a castle on a hill, craggy rocks, and buildings covered in lovely frescos. That’s where I am! Photos and further commentary coming soon.

travel day

Monday, May 29th, 2006

I flew to Prague, got rained on, and am happily ensconced in a hostel with free wifi. And free coffee. Woo!

I have arrived!

Monday, May 22nd, 2006

It’s anticlimactic, but I’m safely in Edinburgh. I flew from Boston through Amsterdam, then up to Edinburgh. I sat next to a chatty older Greek lady, and despite an ongoing conversation, I managed to sleep for a few hours.

I just registered for the conference. The bag and pen is nice (ha, Stew), and I’m having trouble choosing the sessions that I’m going to attend.

I’m off to dinner with some Americans I met at the check-in desk… :)
