London England - A nice bomb threat to bring back those memories of the 90s

The rain and wind didn't leave the UK out - equally nasty here much of the time.
On our last day brought back those memories of living in London in the 90s with daily delays for stray packages and the occasional bomb threat or explosion.
We were at a meeting and then the sirens began coming from everywhere.  Then the traffic was backed up as far as we could see in all directions.  And then the word was out - "bomb threat around the corner". The meeting went on.  The underground was closed in the area when it was time to move on.  And we finally got word it was just some guy tossing things out the window on to a major thoroughfare.
Between the rain drops we covered lots of ground to give Scott and Jason a good first taste of the City - and it looks like they are ready to go for the Olympics.  Things are looking fresh and new!

Tours France - Too quick and too rainy to see or do much

Caught an early morning train to Tours.  Beautiful ride.
We had planned a walk through the city on our way to our meeting.  But once again, on this trip, the rain owned the day and we got a quick ride to our destination.
A city that was mostly bombed out during WW2.  It is always interesting how they can blow up a city but the old church or churches in the middle stand solid.
A long day as we had to head back to Paris and then head off to London for dinner.

Paris France - The rain continued to follow us

Traveling with Jason and Scott.  Scott's first time in Europe - always fun to see it with someone with "new eyes".

We kept hearing that Europe was in a drought and every day it just kept raining and blowing all around us.
The days were grey but we did find some time to get out a bit between the rain and wind.  Our friends at Apple have a great view of the Eiffel Tower - we forgot to ask for the tour so had to go and check it out ourselves.

Oslo Norway - The beginning of a rainy, windy week

Back in Oslo.  Workmates traveling with me.  We arrived to rain and it just kept raining.
Spring hasn't quite arrived to Norway.  It almost felt like it was cold and miserable enough to snow.
Still a very comfortable and lovely city to wander through.
