Where am I?

The Cask USA list recently highlighted a couple of custom Google maps for good beer:

• Alex Hall (direct)
• NERAX (direct)

These are both great resources. Now if only Google and/or Apple would make custom maps easier to use on the iPhone…

Here's the view from the 10th floor of the Embassy Suites.

After this week's class, I spent the weekend in London. There were a large number of tourists for mid-February, probably thanks to the weak pound. I was stopped on the street four or five times by people looking for directions to the British Museum - possibly for the exhibit on Shah 'Abbas?

I didn't go into any museums at all, on this trip; the weather was nice, so mostly I walked around and re-visited favorite pubs.

Before the class started in Reading, I took a walk in the National Trust area near Sonning. There was still a little snow on the ground, but the weather was warm and dry.





Lunch was at the Catherine Wheel on Station Rd - nice pub.

They say this was the coldest day in London for at least 10 years. Walking around by the Thames, I wouldn't argue.
