It's been quite busy the past two weeks across the pond. The weekend of the 20th was spent in Paris, enjoying some sight seeing, French cuisine, and nightlife. The rest of the time, I've been in London - working hard and relaxing when I'm not. Here are a few highlights from the past two weeks:
- Hosting more guests - Lizzy and Rachel stayed with me for a couple days as they begin a European tour. Lizzy is my brother's girlfriend's sister.
- Hosting another guest - Frank Cardinale, a friend I met working in Milwaukee, visited from May 17-29. While in Europe, Frank visited Paris and family back in Turino, Italy.
- Weekend trip to Paris. Visit included a trip to the Musee d'Orsay (think Renior, Monet, Manet, Matisse, Picasso, etc) - http://www.musee-orsay.fr/en/home.html;
- Visiting the grave site of legendary pop icon Jim Morrison in Père-Lachais

- Eating steak tartare at a restaurant near the Eiffel Tower;
- Getting into see a French rapper at a posh hip hop club.
- Buying tickets to the IRB Sevens World Rugby Series at Twickenham last Saturday. I'd be lying if I didn't admit to having a few too many drinks. http://www.irbsevens.com/EN/England/News/070423+SL+eng+draw.htm
That should get us all caught back up. It's been quite busy at work the past couple weeks, with some major deadlines fast approaching. To see some sights through my eyes, be sure to check out my photos at
