Thursday Night at the Holiday Inn - Oakville

It's COLD here in Canada!!!!!! Almost too cold to blog!!! I'm here for another week then back to TRH. Deborah is coming up for the weekend, and we'll see the lights at Niagara on the Lake and Niagara Falls.

Wednesday Night at TRH

Whew - another 14 hour flight and I'm back home. It's FALL here - leaves are yellow, is cool, and the grass is turning colors. Guess I get to play in the yard some this weekend, with the leaves and grass.

Monday Night in Riyadh

One more day to go here, then finally back to TRH for while. With only two days there since October 1, I'd say its about time!! I leave here about 10am Wednesday, and get back to IAD by 4pm that same day.

Friday Night at the Boudl Apartments

I made it back to Riyadh after and a full day of flying from Bulgaria. Not much has changed here - hot, windy and dry. I am in an apartment nearby Faisalia Center this time, the Boudl Apartment/Hotel. They are a big group across this part of the world. http://www.boudl.com/ryiadh-bu2.asp. It is the best apartment I've been in here, and the only thing available this week. At least they have wireless internet for free! I think all the guests and hotel operations must share the same DSL hookup though, because it is slower than any dial-up line I ever used!

I'll leave here Nov 14 or 15 and finally be at TRH for a while - I have to leave then, as my visa expires Nov 15!!

Tuesday Noon at the Grand Sofia Hotel

I made it to Sofia, Bulgaria very late Monday night. Real fun on the plane -- the last seat in coach, in the middle, for 3 hours!!!!!! Yuk.

Sofia is pretty. It reminds me of when I was in Slovakia a couple of years ago, at about this time of year. Lots of new glassy buildings and modern hotels, with very old churches, museums and monuments in between.

That's the St Alexander Nevski Monumental Church in the picture.

Sunday Morning at the Hilton Park Nicosia

It's day 3 of the seminar here - all day Friday, Saturday and Sunday kinda makes the weekend go by without you. I think it was hot and sunny outside - but I only saw it thru the glass in the classroom.

After a full day of work tomorrow, Monday, I'm off in the evening to Sofia, Bulgaria via Austria - I'll have to get out my overcoat again!
