Jet Lag

So I got to take a quick trip over to Europe for about 5 days. Business travel so that was even better. Unfortunately that also means that I had to work most of the time rather than go around and see that sights. But that is cool.. did get to see a lot of the scenery as we drove from Italy to Germany.

I figured driving in Europe would be exceedingly different from driving in the US. I was wrong. Everything was roughly the same except for a lot less speed limit signs on the roads. Also, there was a distinct lack of billboards which was very nice. Got to drive through the, I guess, the Swiss Alps in the rain.. which was exciting. Also got to drive up the Ghisallo climb which is a famous bike climb sometimes in the Giro and Tour of Lombardi. I really wish I had had my bike.

Still trying to adjust back over to US time. Harder than I thought it was going to be. Waking up randomly at 3:30 in the morning and being completely ready for the day sort of sucks. Oh well.. got a lot of reading in. Speaking of which... if you want some interesting reads.. check out Jeff Lindsay. I've come to enjoy what I've read of his so far.

Ok, back to it.
