Old friends in new places [Jun. 3rd, 2007|10:40 pm]

Finally! A vacation! Apparently I suck at going on vacation since I've agreed to work tomorrow at the London office. On the other hand, London's not such a bad place to put in half a days work. There is a castle across the street after all. 

 Yesterday I spent with my favorite ex-Bostonite Andi and her husband Uncle Nemesis. Lunch was a picnic in beautiful Richmond park, previously the king's private hunting grounds. It was rather surreal to still be in London yet sitting by a herd of hundreds of wild deer. Then i was off to their flat for curry chips and to meet Fred, London's best mouser. It's been too long since I last saw Andi so it was fantastic to meet up and see how well she's doing. It's funny, she hasn't changed a bit. Soon as I figure out how to post videos I'll put Andi's video message to Boston up. 

Today I wandered off to North London and Camden Town. Wow, that place is like a playground. Hundreds of shops and stalls. Maybe I should have stopped in London last, because there's no way I can cart all the stuff I wanted around the rest of Europe for 15 days. 

yeah, so thats a brief update. The past two weeks have been great as well. The project went smooth, and we went live last monday. No data issues at all so I'm covered. This has probably turned out to be the smoothest data migration and roll out my company has ever done, so I'm pretty proud of it. I actually had a lot of fun in Eindhoven as well. I love the dutch and I hope I get the chance to work with them again. Ok, the food leaves a little to be desired, but they make up for it in beautiful women.
