So this update is actually coming from Picadilly Circus in London. What a day yesterday was? I flew over from Boston to Manchester on Sunday night and didn’t get a second of sleep on the flight. Landing at 07:10, I took the train directly from the airport over to Sheffield where I had a client meeting through until 16:00. From the meeting, I grabbed the train on down into London, arriving here around 20:00 last night. There are two things to gather from all that: I didn’t sleep a wink in more than 36 hours (and still wasn’t that tired) and that the train system here in the UK is tremendously efficient.

I’ve never been to the north of England before, and it was positively beautiful. I was working with someone who had come down from Edinburgh and he said that it was as nice here as in Scotland. The area we were taking the train through was right out of a movie. Hilly, with low stone fences, massive estates with every building made of stone, and nothing but sheep for animals. Green to the point of blinding … beautiful.

Well, it’s over to Germany tonight for a couple of days before I’m back to Boston. I’m renting a car while I’m there and I hope to explore a bit. I have the camera with me, but there haven’t been any pictures so far … perhaps if I actually “do” the tourist thing. Smile!
