spending some time in London

got the opportunity to spend the next 3 weeks in London for training, and I am sure as soon as I get back the heat will have come on in full force in the sandbox. weather has been spotty here in the london area, but some rain and wind and non-humid sunshine is welcome right now. i have had the chance to do some touring on the weekends, and i have met some great local uk mates who are also posted elsewhere in the world... hanging at some local english pubs on the weekdays, "... watching footie, eating pies and drinking ales..." (as the locals would say)
