A Week Late

Where does the time go?

I arrived here in Germany last Wednesday (after leaving Tuesday), and set up began on Thursday.  Now, on Monday, we're actually ahead of schedule, which is practically unheard of.  In fact, much of the hall is raving about getting on a bit early with their finishing up.  New Zealand, The UK, and loads of publishers are all ahead of schedule.  While the fair doesn't start tomorrow, maybe it could...

Not too much time has been spent outside the hall, but when there's time to spend, there's plenty to do--and eat!  The food here is better than anywhere in the world, I'm nearly convinced.  I'm glad I lost 20 pounds before I got here, though with all the pastries and pastas, its mostly returned. 

The world of publishers is begining to arrive today.  I'll keep you posted on anything I hear.
