Week(s) of November something to November 29, 2003
Craig is back from his excursion to the EMC
reunion in Aachen, and from the week long stay at Boulby Mine, near
Whitby.
Hey
Everybody
Well, I am back in
London again, boy that was a long and tiring week. First the EMC flew to Aachen
to celebrate the EMC reunion. There was much drinking, and partying, and even a
little bit of work. On the Friday, there was a conference with workshops, and we
looked at the importance of a companies image. After, we had a wonderful dinner,
and then we got to go and sleep on the floor of a classroom. The floor wasn't
that bad though, I mean, we are all young and people can sleep anywhere if they
drink enough.
On the Saturday we
had an adventure school type of thing, with hiking, bike riding, and even some
balance-type stuff, walking on elevated wires. It was all pretty fun, and we had
a nice bbq afterwards.
On Sunday,
we had to get up early and fly back to England. The flight was alright, and it
was only 55 minutes long. Once we landed in England, we had to drive 5 hours
north to get to the town of Whitby, in Yorkshire. We stayed at an educational
outdoor camp, like where schools go to teach their kids about
nature.
The mine was interesting,
it went down around 1800 m, and a lot of it was under the North Sea. It is a
really dry mine, and you can taste the salt in the air. It was also incredibly
hot, with temperatures around 40º Celsius. We did our work there, and at
the end of the week we did presentations based on the project that we had worked
on. I was one of the presenters for my group, and the mine staff seemed to like
our work. All and all it was a good
week.
Talk to y'all
later
