That's mainly because my hotel has Princess blazened across the top of it, as does everything else in my hotel room. I cannot even describe how awesome, beautiful, incredible it is. And that's only the hotel. This entire city is quite amazing. I'm considering never returning home.
I am surrounded by the Brits from our London office. As usual, they crack me up. Today's new terms include:
Casual Smart Attire
More Smart Attire
Smart Smart Attire
fits - as in football fits (translates to a soccer uniform)
tart tosser - unpleasant person...likened to asshole
I've decided to dive in and try any and everything in the way of cuisine. Today I had foie gras, laquered kid, and curd. My hotel has a pool pearched on the very top of the building (23 floors in the sky) it's directly under the Princess sign, very cool. My room faces the Mediterranean Sea with breathtaking views from both the bedroom and the bathtub.
Yesterday I walked a good 10 miles...the last 4 were by mistake. It seems as though the best time to get a taxi around here is 1am as opposed to 11:30pm. We walked for an hour and a half before we found a taxi queue to get back in, and it was about 20 taxis deep. We proceeded to drink again once we got back to the hotel to help us forget the pain in our feet. The first 6 miles were due to my inability to find the entrance to the subway. I now have the routes nailed down, however I'm sure i do not have the proper fare card. Baby steps.
I got to watch Nadal beat Federer in a bar full of Spaniards...it was quite exciting watching their countryman win the French Open. I haven't even started on all of the sight seeing...i'll have to fill you in on that later, as i'm headed off to dinner at a countryside farm!

She's not kidding, i've just found out. I had major technical difficulties (imagine that at a technology conference) and i'm in london now and back in action. I'll get a series of posts up to catch you guys up. I cannot retrieve my photos though, because i forgot my cord. maybe i'll find something that will work in the office here tomorrow.
