September-October 09
Cook's biggest European trade show, CIRSE, was held in Lisbon, Portugal and Ann joined me for the week...she saw Lisbon, while I attended the show and related meetings. We did get away for a couple of short sight-seeing excursions. I'll have to add her pictures later (I don't have her camera here..)
Ann then met her parents and Jean in Paris (spent a couple of days there seeing the high points - Lourve, Notre Dame, Diana's fateful tunnel...)then they all rode the High-Speed (180 mph) TVG train from Paris to Cannes. They had a great time seeing all the sites in Provence and our immediate area.
She sent them up to England where they are spending 3 weeks. Ann just left yesterday, Oct 17th, to spend a week with them up there...pictures to follow..same camera I don't have right now.
This month was also Ann's "Girls Trip"; Julie Larsen, Carol Beal, Susan Romney and Kathyrn Knudtson spent a week here - seeing everything they could and enjoying each others' company. This was their 17th straight year going somewhere together!
Just after they left, Kerry Larsen came and he and Julie spent a few extra days with us. It was great spending time with them.
I, meanwhile, worked in SW Germany (Saarbrucken,Worms and Mainz, plus Lille and Amien, France. I also had a quick overnight meeting in Paris before spending the week here in PTX meetings with most of the team from Europe (25 people).
This weekend, since I was alone, I did some high-altitude, narrow, curvy driving, since Ann doesn't care for the tight turns, steep drop offs nor narrow misses of on-coming crazy drivers. I explored the area north of Monaco - St Agnes being the high point, besides some beautiful scenery.
Next week - Ann's report from England and mine from Slovenia.
This week I head off to Frankfurt for two days then over to Lubjlana, Slovenia for three days. I hope to have some great pictures of Slovenia.
