Now that I've had some rest and I know where I am, I'll continue writing. So Saturday we tool the train into London's Paddington Station. It's an impressive building with super-tall ceilings with what looks like wrought iron ornamentation. Very intricate stuff. We knew where the hotel was located, but had know idea how to get there. Thankfully, we hopped in a cab, because we would have gotten lost, dragging our suitcases down the sidewalk. Our hotel was in Central London, across the street from Hyde Park. Amazing. London has to be the most international city I've ever been to. In any direction there was a different type of cuisine. We did a bit of walking around, but unfortunately most of the shops were closed since it was late-ish on a Saturday. But still, the streets were packed. We stopped for some snacks at a French-Lebonese restaurant, which was pretty good. I had no idea they speak French there. From there, we walked back to the hotel to get a sweater and headed to dinner. We ended up at the best Indian restaurant I've ever been to. The food was all French inspired as well. Of course, I had to try the filleted duck breast in a red curry sauce. It had a fancy French name which I could pronounce, but can't remember. Wow, was it good. So that was London. Check back for more on other cities as we make our tour of Europe this week.

Because half the time I travel, I don't always know where I am. Literally and figuratively.

Let's look at yesterday as an example. Work is super busy right now, as we're getting ready to launch an entire new line of products. Our sales team is in town to learn about the products too. And I have other work responsibilities to take care of too. All that, means running around like chicken without a head. And oh wait. It's time to fly to Europe for a week of distributor training.

Transatlantic flights aren't too bad when you've done it a gazillion times. I do my best to sleep, but this time was a little harder. It's not easy to sleep when you're not tired and it's still sunny outside the plane. But I managed. Anyway, after leaving the airport, we immediately headed to our distributor to give the presentation on very little sleep. Had some Mediterranean dinner and called it a night at 10.

Now it's Saturday, so after breakfast we were able to get a nice 65 km bike ride in through the English countryside. We stopped about halfway for tea and a muffin along an old canal. Pretty cool. And since it's still Saturday, we're taking the train to London, where we'll spend the night.
