Lille

Awesome. Rough day here in lille...never managed to meet up with johns friend, after waiting 4 hours. Hostel was booked full, but after a couple failings found a cheap hotel. Going to explore the city tomorrow and perhaps meet up with this dubious character, if she checks her email!
Rachael...where are you planning on going once you graduate? Id be glad to scout out the area as long as Im here and make some recommendations ( Im assuming youd be interested in the architecture...if i have the right rachael!)
Jake...are you working in an REI in Asheville? Didnt know they had one...hope you are riding the raleigh alot. I sorely miss mountain biking. If you get a big fat paycheck, send some this way and the bike is yours permently. Perfect bike for Tsali and Bent Creek!
Chris, glad you are tuning in. Are you still out in Salt Lake? Ill be sure to swing by on my victory lap through the US.
Off to cook some dinner and perhaps check out the nightlife. Take care folks!

P.S. Promise to get the videos posted soon...they are somewhat entertaining.

  3. Depends on where you're going. If you're in the eastern part of the country, I was in Nijmegen which was gorgeous and it's the oldest city in the Netherlands, so that could be cool. But it's also pretty small so depends on what you want to see. Let me know where you end up!

  7. Rob, I am amazed at your trek and look forward to keeping up with you. If you need a local contact in a country where we have an office, just email me and I'll try to help (freeman@cisco.com). Keep on peddling and keep me posted on your progress.

    p.s. Chaired 2 Eagle Boards of Review for scouts from other troops tonight. Guess what merit badge held one of them up for a few months ??? ;-)
