On the Train to Cardiff

2009-03-23, Wales, United Kingdom

This morning we slept in a bit and are currently on the train to Cardiff. When we get there, I think we're going to check out the National Museum Cardiff. According to their Web site, they have Europe's best collection of Impressionist works outside of Paris. I'll let you know if I agree... :)

Tonight we will set up our poster for the conference, and the conference runs through Wednesday. We'll get to do a bit of sightseeing, though. I know that Al has 5 or 6 castles picked out all around Wales for us to see.

After the conference, we have a couple of days for which we still have no plans. If anyone has recommendations, let me know!
