I am going to be off line much of the week, working in Edinburgh. Been there before; hope to have some good ale along the way in the fine drinking establishments.
This is the second time I have been in the UK during the World Cup. Last time I was in London; I guess the Scottish crowd will not give much thought to England’s hopes and dreams. I am bummed that I will miss the U.S. / Algeria game, which will probably be ending about the time we are wrapping up work for the day on Wednesday.
London is somewhat tempting. Exchange rate on the pound is less than what it was when I visited in 2006.
Bon voyage!
Work is a lot different than vacation. Weather was actually nice, and it was a blast watching some of the games in the pubs. Even though I was in Scotland, there were plenty of folks interested in Wednesday’s games, which turned out great for the US. I bet England would rather play Ghana than Germany!
Safe and sound back home, watching Chile vs. Spain.
