Well we finally had our review today and it was less than stellar. We have a bunch of actions to complete that will determine the overall state of the program, but it's not really indicitive of the work we have done. oh well. at least its done and over with for now.

i'll be getting on the plane at almost 1pm Toulouse time and will be gratefully landing in LA around 7pm. it's a 2 hour flight from here to Toulouse and a 12.5 hour, yes, twelve and a half hour flight back to LA. yuck.

ok...well no pictures today really since i spent the whole day on the airbus facility. i did manage some pics of the flags showing how overcast and windy it was today.

i finally made it to the hotel bar for a drink to wind down a little bit. i was still hanging out with the irish guy who happens to be staying down the hall here. i also finally had dinner here at the hotel, so here are the pics from dinner tonight. not bad. however, the price was totally ridiculous. my expense report isn't gonna like it at all.

i started with what they called a ham/cheese salad....hahha.....nice salad there Frenchies. i had some veal filets with potatoes and vegetables for the main dish. i finished off with a bowl of fruit since the ice cream was 9EU. wtf....thats $13.50 for 3 small scoops of sorbet. pretty unreasonable if you ask me. also, finally they put the bread on a plate. it's abotu time. 2 weeks here and on m last meal they put the bread down on a plate.

overall, the trip was a success, even though we didn't make much progress, i did get a lot of things done and issues resolved. so that was good.

thanks again to Daniel and his family for taking me out and thinking of me this past weekend.

anyways...its time for bed and my last post from Toulouse.

Aurevoir!
