Really great day here in San Jose. We had the senior leadership RTLE meeting. I am so impressed with the country and people of Costa Rica. I've always said it's at least my second favorite country after my own. I see such opportunity here to build an engineering culture to support The wonderful sustainable brand that the country has created for itself. I really want to find a way to help do that.
I only have about three hours to sleep so I'm going to sign off now. I just want to say thank you to the people of Costarica for all of the Great ideas.
It's Tuesday night And I am in San Jose coaster Rica… This is one of my favorite countries in the world, but it feels a little strange being here without my family. We've been here three times before and it is one of our favorite vacation places in the world.
It's all business… But I like this kind of business. We arrived this morning and early afternoon we went to the technical University where I met with over 250 high school students and talked to them about science careers and my experience on the colony. It was so much fun
Tonight I mostly worked in my room, but I went out to meet Gary and german for a quick beer and to watch the post soccer euphoria. Costa Rica tied Jamaica but that allowed them to advance to the world cup finals. the place was going wild. I swear even though it was raining and thundering, I could heard the whole city cheer at the end of the game through my window
I only got about three hours sleep last night So I'm going to try to get some sleep. More from Costa Rica tomorrow.
Friends,
For some reason only known to the internet gods, I'm unable to post pictures today Please imagine warm and wonderful people. a packed IBM work agenda and a great night on the town with old friends.. stir in about 6 hours of day job meetings and stuff and you'll get the idea..
Hi friends…im in beautiful Bogota .Colombia.. And it really is beutiful… What i can see of it tonight. I had a long foodless and tv less but productive flight down here and was met at the airport by my excellent host Rafael.. What a great guy.. He works in the CIO's office down here and builds solar houses on the side.. Very cool..
He gave me a quick drive around the city and we stopped in a grocery store where i found some yummy falafel
The store could have been anywhere in the world..
Even cooler..(sort of) rafael was kidnapped by guerrilla soldiers and held for 3 days about 11 years ago. His dad was held for 3 months.. He figures about 50 percent of his classmates had soemthing similar happen in their families… Thats all long gone.. But amazing to think about..
He said it wasn't too bad except for the mosquitos and having to eat monkey meat
