London Open House is a great opportunity to see interesting buildings in London. Missed out on the Gherkin, but saw the Foreign Office & India Office and the British Library.

It was bound to happen one day - Marilyn and Ashok decided to get married! And of course Gunjan et al. could not let Marilyn go without an impromptu bachelorette's party, which was a nice surprise for Marilyn and good fun for all of us. We had pizza, tiramisu and "drunken brides", chatted, and watched two movies appropriate for the occassion: When Harry Met Sally and Monsoon Wedding.

In dire need of a break from the computer I went to Mexico with my friend Peter for two weeks (August 18 - September 4). We visited Guadalajara, Zacatecas, Guanajuato, Oaxaca, Puebla and Mexico City, and had a great time.

Dover itself is not an extremely interesting place, but The White Cliffs are definitely worth a visit.

My aunt Silva and uncle Janez came to visit me in the U.S., primarily to attend my graduation, but also to travel around. We went to DC, New York, Annapolis and around College Park and had a busy schedule - I used the opportunity to see what I haven't managed to see in almost 5 years during their visit.
