A Day Off in Denmark

Wednesday, September 17th, 2008 by

Overall it was a good day, but I’ve been feeling my first pangs of homesickness. We got to the hotel around 10am, and most of us went online immediately because it’s free here. This hotel is tiny! It’s more like a hostel than a hotel, but it’s in a...→ Read More

2nd Concert at the Ahoy in Rotterdam

Monday, September 15th, 2008 by

If you ever see me drinking green tea or other beverage with a small amount of caffeine after 5pm, please remind me that I’m far too sensitive to caffeine to tolerate it in the evening! Now, granted I was hyped after our group discussion and love fest, but after...→ Read More

Concert at the Ahoy in Rotterdam

Sunday, September 14th, 2008 by

I woke up this morning and noticed that it was a bright and sunny day! So, I put on some moderately light workout clothes and headed outdoors for my morning walk. Eeeek! It was freezing! Rather than go back to the room and put on the heavy gear, I...→ Read More

A Day Off in The Nederlands

Sunday, September 14th, 2008 by

Once at the hotel, I had to decide whether I’d be going to sleep or if I’d be getting dressed and heading out to spend the day with Persephone, one of my dearest friends…we’ve been great friends since college. I chose the latter. I always enjoy spending time with...→ Read More

Ferry Crossing

Saturday, September 13th, 2008 by

Today I slept late and went directly to breakfast. After breakfast, I felt the gym calling my name. I didn’t work out yesterday, and I know that letting 2 days pass without working out can start anyone (maybe even me) on the slippery slope of falling out of a...→ Read More

First show at the O2

Friday, September 12th, 2008 by

I woke up this morning feeling exhausted. I slept for several hours, but still felt as if I needed several hours more. I met Arlene Sierrafor lunch and had a great time! I just wish I hadn’t felt so tired. Arlene is awesome. She’s simply brilliant and it’s marvelous...→ Read More

Friday Night with Jonathan Ross

Thursday, September 11th, 2008 by

I woke up this morning and went for a walk in Hyde Park. I quickly came across a rose garden and rather than continue on the running path, I ventured into the rose garden. Just a few days ago, I had watched a program on the BBC that addressed...→ Read More

The Manchester Show

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008 by

I got up and went for a walk through downtown Manchester. It’s very urban and big city-ish. There were no parks in the area where I walked, but there were several old, formal buildings, which are quite beautiful. After my walk, I did a very lazy workout in the...→ Read More

The first show: Birmingham

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008 by

This morning I got up and out at 9:30am. I jogged along the Birmingham Canal, which is beautiful, towards the NIA, the show venue. As I jogged, I periodically stopped to take photos, and a bird decided to come near me. I’m sure it wanted food, but I only...→ Read More

A Day Off in England

Monday, September 8th, 2008 by

This morning I woke and went outside for a morning walk/run. The weather is damp and cool (no surprise there!) but the environment is quite lovely. The buildings make me imagine that I’ve been transported to a bygone era. The sense of history in Europe is virtually palpable. It’s...→ Read More
