Everyone gathered in the lobby of the Crowne Plaza Hotel Sunday evening for a welcome reception. Items overheard:
* Jet Lag: Some arrived from the US early Sunday morning and by 6 PM Sunday were beginning to get a little tired. Those of us that arrived in Europe a few days earlier shared stories of fitful nights of trying to get adjusted. I personally have never had a rougher trip than this one to get adjusted to the nine hour time difference between Santa Paula and Bratislava.
* Travel: Many discussed discomfort of their flights here. We have someone here from Australia that wins the prize for longest distance traveled.
* Sightseeing: Many spent Sunday exploring old Bratislava. Alas, Patrice and I went the wrong way when we left the hotel for a quick walk and ended up exploring new Bratislava which was largely closed on a Sunday afternoon. Others spoke of their time touring before arriving here, many in Vienna.
We all then broke up into groups for dinner. Needless to say is that there is plenty of meat and gravy in the traditional foods of Slovakia. Very tasty....
