Days 4-6 of Spring Trip to France: Web-5 and Carcassonne
May 7th, 2012 by Dylan
As too often seems to be the case, I start off with great intentions on these trips, and then end up with a bunch of unfinished trip blogs as the trip gets busier.
So, I’ll spend a few posts recapping some of the highlights:
April 4
- Web-5 conference in Béziers. Had fun delivering the opening keynote on Dojo, making new Dojo friends, and catching up with others.
April 5
- Day trip to Carcassonne! Leita and I love playing the board game/iPhone app, and this medieval castle and town did not disappoint. The view of the Pyrenees on the train ride did not disappoint either.
April 6
- The conclusion of the Web-5 event had some great talks, in particular one by Christophe Jolif. PEM and the entire Web-5 crew did a great job organizing their first event, especially with a French air traffic control strike closing the nearest airport the day before the event was set to start.
- We then took the train back to Paris, and checked into our flat in Montmartre. We had an excellent dinner at Au Relais and walked around near Sacré Cœur
