EGEE'09 begins

Safely arrived in Barcelona for EGEE'09 and able to verify that Hotel Barcelo Sants ("your hotel in the sky") is very pleasant.

Took a short tour of the city this afternoon and found out a few touristy facts while I circulated the streets in a big blue bus:

1. Barcelona has the largest stadium in Europe, seating 100,000 people (EGI conference venue next year?)

2. Park Guell was a failed property development venture - Gaudi was one of the few people to actually live there.

3. The Sagrada Familia is a seriously impressive building.

I will be busy setting up the EGEE'09 booth tomorrow. Don't forget to drop by and say hello to the EGEE dissemination team during the week.
