Attached is a picture of the view from my hotel window which I took yesterday .

Attached is a picture of the Barcelona Cathedral which I took yesterday .

Attached is a picture of the Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Familia ( Temple of the Sacred Family ) which I took yesterday .

As discussed here , I did a lot of walking today. Some of it was even from the hotel to the Convention Center, so I'm going to count this as a competitive, and therefore walking, day: Telecommuted: 32 Walked: 124 Walked to the Bus: 17 Drove: 118 Did Not Compete: 76 As mentioned yesterday , I plan to walk the rest of the week. Stay tuned! -wp

Day 2 of TechEd Developers was also the only day of the conference during which I had no presentation obligations. Since I slept through my first intended tourist interval on Sunday , today was the day to see things that don’t involve hotels, convention centers, or airports. What a day I had! I started at the Temple Expiatori de la Sagada Familia ( Temple of the Sacred Family ). This indescribably epic structure has been under construction since 1882 and is expected to take another 30 years to complete.

The hotel in Barcelona is a block from the Convention Center, and I didn't rent a car.. so of course I walked, albeit a fairly short distance: Telecommuted: 32 Walked: 123 Walked to the Bus: 17 Drove: 118 Did Not Compete: 76 Tomorrow is likely to be non-competitive for tourist activities, and I plan to walk the rest of the week. Stay tuned! -wp

In attempting to assess this morning's possibilities, yesterday I said: [I]f anything goes wrong in the morning I'll have to ditch the bus and fire up the MG . Well, nothing went wrong (if you don't count designing a day where I needed to get up at 5:10 a.m.); I got Zach to his practice, brought the car home, and immediately headed off towards the Sound Transit 545 bus: Telecommuted: 4 Walked: 69 Walked to the Bus: 4 Drove: 23 Did Not Compete: 14 Can I go 5-for-5 for my week in downtown Seattle?
