Yes, my time in England has officially ended and I have now made my way to Oberwinterthur, Switzerland.
But yesterday my boss & I spent some time hitting the major landmarks in London. First, I insisted we stop by King’s Cross since I heard rumors of a Platform 9 ¾ mock-up. Let me tell you – what a disappointment! I don’t know if things became too touristy, or if it was due to the construction, or if it was always this way, but ‘Platform 9 3/4’ was a really lame cardboard backdrop of a brick wall, with a trolley going into the wall. Since we travelled all the way out there, I decided that I should take a picture anyway.
| See? Pretty Lame. I tried to get excited though. |
Next, we took the Underground to London Bridge, walked that & then walked to Westminster & South Bank. Since it was raining, there weren’t too many weird street performers. Here are some more pictures!

| Westminster Palace & Big Ben! |
Then we retired to the hotel early since we had early flights today. There was a pretty cool pub in the hotel, so I was able to get my fish & chips fix in.
Tomorrow our distributor is taking us to the Rhinefalls here in Switzerland, which should be gorgeous. Then the course Monday & Tuesday, meeting with Google on Wednesday and home on Thursday! <3
That is so awesome... color me various shades of green. What are you doing at Google though?

Meeting with one of their Educational Outreach Coordinators. They're partnering with a school here with SumoBot competitions, so we want to see how we can foster those relationships in the US as well. :]
