A great place to get new ideas!

I've been on a business trip for the last two weeks in Europe. I started out in London then went on to Aberdeen Scotland. I've been to those two places so many times I can jump on the tube and go anywhere in London, almost like a local. Beautiful city, lots to see and do, not that I ever have time to do anything like that. Traveling around England and Scotland is fun, and ideas seem to flow much better with that kind of stimulation. This trip however, took a little different turn after about a week and a half. I had to divert and make a quick trip to Gibraltar, Spain then on to a not very well known town called Cadiz. Let me tell you, if you've never seen the Rock of Gibraltar, it is impressive. Very impressive. The countryside and terrain in this area is beautiful. To make the connections I needed, I am leaving Spain through Seville.  Oh how I wish I had the time (and my wife with me...) to see Seville. A very intriguing place. I could spend a few months here and write a bestseller. The scenery, the people, the mystique, it doesn't get any better than this. Not for me anyway. And that's not to mention that the weather here this time of year is fabulous. A lot like Southern California.
However, I have this job that keeps getting in the way of fun. And writing. So I'm heading back to Houston and meetings. But if you ever have the chance to come to Spain and Seville, do not pass it up.

  1. Just got your contact details again from Gary and this time I will try not to get them lost in the washing machine.
    Interesting trip you made as I have been to all of these places and actually have lived for long periods in Aberdeen and in El Puerto de Santa Maria which is close to Cadiz and Sevilla. Gibraltar I have visited many times to do my "British" shopping. Not sure who your readers are on this blog but I never really liked living in London and being in Gibraltar but every one his taste. One of my daughtes was born in Aberdeen and one in Jerez de la Fonteira wich is in between Seville and Cadiz. BTW Cadiz was one of the richest cities in the world in 1500 when it was British.
