First weekend...

I've made it to the end of my first week here in Spain on the MARTE project... before I head to a conference in Munich , I thought I'd use my Saturday morning downtime to finally post some photos and narrative.

( from the first few days... 6 photos )

then down to Rio Tinto...

Some photos and narrative from the time this week in Rio Tinto... it has been intense and harried, often going 15-16 hours per day.

( from the last few days... 6 photos )

on my way, again

Looking out the window at whitewashed Andalusian towns. whizzing by... at 200+ mph out of an AVE train window. I'm headed back to Madrid this afternoon, thence to Munich tomorrow. I'm woefully unplanned for this leg...

sigh...

CS and I were on the same train to Madrid... we shared a cab. After I was dropped off, CS was let off by the driver some distance from her hotel... and had her NASA video recorder stolen between there and the hotel lobby. And she had neglected to get a property pass, so may be personally liable for replacement... awk.
