We are finally getting a break in the weather here in Europe. It had been downright cold and wet. The weekend was gorgeous. After working in a mill last week we got a long weekend to enjoy, so Jeannie and I took advantage of the time to visit Heidelberg.

It has been a whirlwind of travel the past three weeks. I had the good fortune to work on a paper mill trial in South America. It was the first opportunity I have had since my immersion Spanish class in January to practice my oral skills. Let's just say I have a long way to go. Thank you Humberto for all your help!

Our European adventure continues as I start to work on a new project this week. Exciting times.
