Finally the Weekend

St. Albans Downtown

Been a busy week at work.  Most of the Dimensions CM Management team will be in Red Wood City next week for a strategy off site.  In addition we had a patch release this week and the additional work around strategizing for our Suites.

So I didn't really go anywhere besides work and the hotel.  On Wednesday Peter had me over for dinner at his house.  Met his family which was nice to finally meet the people he has talked about so much.  His daughters Maria and Anna were very nice, and I loved their English Accents.  Mari is quite the artist, and Anna has a "Trustworthy" friend in Liz.

I had my first experience with Crispy Duck, which is quite good.  You make a burrito with a pancake like thingy, some sauce, and the duck.  Delicious. 

One thing to note is that most American financial institutions treat you like a criminal if you dare to login from a foreign IP address.  I spent a good 3-4 hours trying to purchase something using my PayPal account to verify my security, and in the end had to give up.

Tonight I went to an Indian restaurant here in St. Albans called Veer Dharma.  It was so good, some of the best Indian food I have ever had.  A bit on the pricey side, but I'll be going back to try something else.  There was so much good food on the menu, I took over 20 minutes just deciding what to eat.

Tomorrow I am making the trip back into London.  My plan is to visit the British Museum which should consume my whole day based on what I can see.  The British Empire was kind enough to gather a good sampling of the worlds archaeological treasures into one place.  I'm especially looking forward to seeing the Rosetta Stone which unlocked so much of our current understanding of Egyptian Hieroglyphics.
